An early map of Africa and Arabia oriented with north to the bottom of the page. The map focuses on the Nile and extends southwards as far as the Tropic of Capricorn, thus the Cape and part of western Africa are missing. The map also includes much of Arabia with Mecca and Aden named. This map was printed in Giovanni Battista Ramusio's "... Navigationi Et Viaggi ..." and was published from the third edition (of 1563) onwards. Italian text to the verso.
