Before google maps, we had these. This week, we’re looking at atlases and maps in manuscripts.
LJS 28, created by Battista Agnese in 16th century Venice, is a 7 double-page manuscript of navigational maps, marked with place names and rhumb-lines. The manuscript is titled Portolan Maps, given by the cataloger.
