Summary
| Description |
English: Sketched of a portion the w:Weimar map, an anonymous 15th C. Italian portolan held by the Grand Ducal Library in Weimar. Sometimes dated 1424, although more recent historians believe it was composed sometime between 1460s and 1490s, probably by the cartographer Conte di Ottomano Freducci of Ancona, or one of his relatives. This particular sketch, showing only part of the portolan (focused on the central Atlantic islands, esp. the fictional island of Antillia) was made by William Henry Babcock (d.1922) from Weimar library photographs and published in his 1917 article "Indications of Visits of White Men to America before Columbus", in F.W. Hodge, editor, Proceedings of the Nineteenth International Congress of Americanists, Washington, DC., p.476. |
