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.
