  Jehuda Cresques - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jehuda Cresques (1350?-1427?), also known as Jafudà Cresques, Jaume Riba, and Cresques lo Jeheu ("Cresques the Jew") was a Catalan cartographer, and probably the man who coordinated the discoveries of the Portuguese naval school at Sagres in the early 15th century.
Son of Abraham Cresques, a famous Jewish cartographer, he was born in Majorca in present-day Spain.
Cresques' work was highly sought after; in 1390 John I of Aragon paid the princely sum of 60 livres and 8 sous for one of his maps.
