Description:

Urs Graf Verlag GmbH Publishing House in Dietikon (Zürich metropolitan area, Switzerland) has published, in 1977, the facsimile-replica of an outstanding Catalan cartographic work of the fourteenth century, the Catalan Atlas or Mappa mundi of 1375 (it was drawn between 1375 and 1381). This atlas (now in Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France) belongs to the best works of Catalan (Majorcan) cartographic school. The maps of Majorcan cartographic school feature lavish, vividly coloured illustrations of cities, geographical features, portraits of kings and other rulers, and a wealth of topographical detail both known from experience and imaginary. They also feature keys and explanatory notes written in Latin and old Catalan. The presumable author of Catalan Atlas of 1375 was Cresques Abraham, a Jewish cartographer from Palma de Mallorca, for many years “master of mappæ mundi and compasses” (maestro de mapamundis y de brujulas in Spanish, or maestre de mapa mundi e de buxolas in old Catalan) to the King of Aragon. After his death in 1387, his work was probably carried on by his son, Jehuda Cresques (1350? – 1410? or 1427?), also known as Jafudà Cresques, Jaume Riba etc.
