Description
An 18th century copy of an important manuscript map of 1450 by Bianco and Fra Mauro, considered the greatest example of medieval cartography. It shows the world as a circular landmass filled with pictorial detail, oriented with East at the top and Jerusalem at the centre.
The original Fra Mauro map was discovered in the monastery of San Michel in Isola, Murano, where the Camaldolese cartographer had his studio. The map now hangs in a stairway in the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana in Venice
