Description

This map, possibly published in Gerardus Mercator’s Atlas minor, is a sample of Renaissance European cartography. It reflects the territorial representation of Catalonia and Aragon in the context of the geographical knowledge of the time. It is a valuable source for the study of the perception of the territory and the dissemination of cartographic knowledge.
