An Old and Famous Chart.
New York Marine Journal: A fif-
teenth century nautical chart pur-
chased by Amerigo Vespucci from Ca
briel de Valseca for a sum approx
mating about $780, is now in the pos
session of Emilio CROSSE of Rome
This chart was accidentally discoy
cred in Florence in 1900, and no doubt
exists as to it's authenticity. 1t bears
an inscription in Spanish which states
that it was made by de Valseca in Ma
jorca in 1882 and is in an excellent
state of preservation. The chart con-
sists of a rectangular sheet of parch-
ment about 43 inches long and "a
wide, and was evidently drawn for the
purposes of navigation .as all the
ports and seaside cities and towns arc
carefully noted down, and the coast
line is designated with much care,
while the inland cities are neglected
and only the most important are given
The Mediterranean and Black seas
are plotted with great precision, and
their coasts are crowded with the
names of cities, towns, and ports
Alden is marked at the entrance to the
Red Sea, and six other cities on its
coast. Spain and Italy. with Corsica
Sicily, and Sardinia, as well as the
minor islands, are carefully drawn
and denominated with exactness.
England and Ireland are imperfectly
marked, and so is Scandinavia. Little
attention has been paid to the interior
OF the countries represented. which is
an important factor in proving that il
was made for the use of a navigator.
There is a memorandum in the great
F1orentine's own handwriting showing
also his autograph, which besides
proving the original ownership OF the
map. shows its great value even five
hundred years ago.
