Description
Unsigned and undated Italian manuscript. Dated approximately 1559-1560 by independent cartographic historian Michael J. Ferrar in 2022, based on comparison with the chart covering the British Isles in Agnese atlas held by Yale University (Beinecke MS 560). Attribution to the Genoese chartmaker Battista Agnese questioned as "doubtful" in Herbert Raup Wagner, "The manuscript atlases of Battista Agnese" in Bibliographical Society of America. Papers 25 (1931): 42-45, 53, and 102.
Similar to another, more finished, unsigned, and undated manuscript portolan atlas at the Newberry Library (Ayer MS map 12).
Pen-and-ink and paint (blue, green, red, yellow). Most charts are unfinished.
