	World Mysteries - Strange Artifacts, Catalan Atlas
		The portolan chart drafted in 1339 by Angelino Dulcert (BNF, Res Ge B 696), was the first map known for certain to have been produced in Palma, on Majorca.
		The Catalan Atlas, dated 1375 and attributed to Cresques Abraham, presents important similarities with Dulcert's portolan chart in the drawing of its occidental portion, augmented with a great number of explanatory legends.
		It reproduces the geographical framework of Dulcert's portolan chart, the rich array of paintings and explanatory legends of the Catalan Atlas, and it reflects the same fascination with African gold and knowledge of the overland routes leading to it.

		The Catalan Atlas says: The circumference of the earth is 180,000 stadia, that is to say 20,052 miles (this is the same calculation as Ptolemy's, yet it was given a full thirty years prior to the first known Latin translation of his Geographia).
		In this case, classical and medieval tradition is not borne out by experience and is accordingly rejected by the mapmaker; the Canary Islands had been discovered in 1336 and appear on Angelino Dulcert's chart of three years later.
		Elsewhere, however, the weight of received opinion is still felt, as, for example, in the various islands with fabulous names; they cannot represent the Madeiran group, as these islands were discovered only in 1418-1419.

		Sailing due west, this would take him to Brazil (Byheest/terra firma).
		The island of Brazil appears on the following maps: Angelino de Dalorto, 1325, Angelino Dulcert, 1339, Catalan, 1350, and c.1480.
		I believe these maps were drawn from older knowledge rather then being based on current explorations.

		Elaborately embellished with symbols and figures marking the continental interiors, such works tend to cover the known world between the Atlantic off the west coast of Ireland and the Persian Gulf, between the Baltic and the Sahara.
		The charts of 1325-30 by Angelino de Dalorto, 1339 by Angelino Dulcert (possibly the same individual; [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 16 OMITTED]), about 1385 by Guillelmus Soleri, 1413 by Mecia de Viladestes, or 1439 and 1447 by Gabriel de Vallsecha [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 17 OMITTED] exemplify a genre primarily associated with Majorca.
		Eventually, however, Catalan-style charts, rich in decorative enhancements, were produced also in Italian shops, as those of 1367 by the Venetian Pizigani brothers and of 1482 by Grazioso Benincasa of Ancona demonstrate.(68)

		There was a tradition mapmaking among the Jews of Italy, which eventually moved to the Island of Majorca.
		One Angelino Dulcert was the first such mapmaker, in 1339, to place Mali (Melli) on his map of Africa.
		A later Majorcan atlas attributed to Abraham Cresques and drawn for Charles V of France in 1375 showed the Western Sudan and the cities of Niami, Timbuktu and Gao in more or less correct positions in relation to each other.
