EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detail from the reproduction of the Catalan Atlas, a 14th-century world map created by Abraham Cresques, a Jewish cartographer from Majorca. The image depicts North Africa, Europe, and the Middle East with Jerusalem positioned near the center. Spanning from Scandinavia to the Rio Oro in Africa and from the Atlantic to China, this intricate map offers a glimpse into medieval geographical knowledge. It highlights significant landmarks such as Sicily, Greece, Turkey, and even includes camel caravans traversing vast deserts. One notable figure mentioned is Mansa Musa, also known as "Musse Melly" who reigned as King of Mali during that time period. He controlled an extensive portion of Africa stretching from Gambia and Senegal to Gao on the Niger River while having access to abundant gold deposits. The Catalan Atlas not only served navigational purposes but also played a crucial role in facilitating trade routes for spices along the Silk Road. Its detailed depiction of coastlines and maritime information made it an invaluable tool for sailors exploring uncharted territories. Crafted on vellum using meticulous cartographic techniques prevalent during that era, this reproduction preserves both historical significance and artistic beauty. With its rich colors and precise compass lines guiding seafarers across oceans, this piece serves as a testament to human curiosity about our world's vastness centuries ago.
