Neither the author nor the exact date can be determined with certainty. It contains, however, numerous features which suggest that it is the work of the above-named author and its date cannot be far from 1425. [Fischer, Sammlung Mittelalterlicher Welt- und Seekarten, pp. 153-154. ] One other portolan chart by Giacomo is known, dated 1422, which may be found in the National Library of Paris, and three of his atlases bearing dates, respectively, 1426 [reproduced in photograph by On- gania], 1443,... and 1446. This particular chart is here first described. It includes the Mediterranean, together with the Black Sea, the Atlantic coast of Europe to Fries- land, the British Islands, and the coast of Africa from Gibraltar to Cape Cantin. The chart is crossed by the usual lines, having two complete systems of crossing points, with sixteen points in each group. The centre of the group on the right is in the iEgean Sea, that on the left near San Sebastian in Spain. On both the upper and the lower border a scale of miles is given.
