Note 802 — Chapter IV
Reading edition
Memoir on a Mappemonde by Leonardo da Vinci communicated to the Society of Antiquaries by R. H. Major, who makes its date between 1513 and 1519,—probably 1514. The Ptolemy printed at Basle 1552 lays down Terra Florida and Ins. Tortucarum, and the map in Girava’s Cosmography shows Florida and Bacalaos; but the B. de Joan Ponce appears in La geografia di Clavdio Ptolomeo Alessandrino, Venice, 1548. [A fac-simile of the sketch accredited to Da Vinci is given on p. 126.—Ed.]
