Samenvatting
Portolanos Charts of the Black Sea from the 14th-17th Century This new edition presents a collection of reproductions of old nautical maps of the Black and Azov seas in the XIV-XVII centuries that are preserved in German, Dutch, British, Italian, American, Canadian, Australian, and Japanese libraries and archives.
