Atlas of the islands in the Eastern Mediterranean (Isolario), etc.
Bequest of Henry C. Taylor, 1971.
Binding: Original limp vellum. On the spine is written "G***ctrica MSS". On the rear cover are a pen-drawing, upside-down, of the same decorative device as on f. 2r, and a sketch of city gates.
Sometimes called an "Isolario," contains colored drawings of the islands and coastal regions of the Mediterranean -- and also a map of the world.
Manuscript on paper made by an unknown Venetian mathematician, astronomer and cartographer. This manuscript is highly interesting for the excellent drawings of contemporary Mediterranean sailing-ships.
