An uncommon sea chart of the Eastern Mediterranean, showing Rhodes and the coasts of southern Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Egypt, with Cyprus.
It was originally published in Levanto's 'Specchio del Mare', one of the earliest Italian printed maritime atlases, in 1644. This example was printed in Coronelli's 'Isolario', apparently unaltered despite being over fifty years old.
