The Chronicle of the Discovery and Conquest of Guinea. Vol. II

Note 265 — GOMES EANNES DE AZURARA; (continued 2)

C. Raymond (Charles Raymond) Beazley translation

Is this an addition of the Editor to bring it up to date? The reviser must, however, have added very largely to this map; e. g., both Russia and Turkey (?), as here depicted, do not correspond at all to the late thirteenth century, but agree better with the fifteenth; though for 1436 Russia seems unduly magnified. Imperium Tartarorum appears immediately north of the Sea of Azov. The Moslem prince near the Bosphorus is probably meant for the Ottoman Sultan.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
