In this online version of the Mappa Mundi I am enjoying this bit on legendary places.
The world map by Fra Mauro (active ca. 1430-ca. 1459/1464) reflects a vision of the world that was coming into focus in one of the most flourishing commercial and cultural centers in Europe: the Republic of Venice. Celebrated by Giovanni Battista Ramusio (1485-1557) in the mid-16th century as one of the “wonders of Venice”, Fra Mauro’s world map can be counted among the most visionary cosmographical works of all time.
