EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Catalan Atlas, Sheet 9, a remarkable piece of medieval cartography created in 1375 by Abraham Cresques. The map was crafted in Majorca and is attributed to the Jewish cartographer who served the king of Aragon. Preserved in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this world map offers a unique glimpse into historical geography. The Catalan Atlas covers an extensive area from Scandinavia to China and from the Atlantic Ocean to Africa's Rio Oro. It is richly illustrated with pen and colored inks on parchment spread across six wooden panels. Notably, Jerusalem sits close to the center of this intricate map. As one of few surviving examples of medieval cartography, this masterpiece provides valuable insights into early navigation and trade routes. It depicts important landmarks such as coastlines, ports, compass lines, and even includes details about spice trade along the Silk Road. The intricacy and attention to detail showcased within this work highlight its significance not only as a navigational tool but also as a testament to human curiosity and exploration during that era. The Catalan Atlas serves as a reminder of how our ancestors sought knowledge beyond their immediate surroundings while shaping our understanding of the world we inhabit today.
