The Pizzigano Nautical Chart was drawn up between 1423
and 1424 by Venetian cartographer Zuane Pizzigano. The
Pizzigano map shows the coasts of Portugal, Spain, and
Africa, and intriguingly it shows quite clearly, with the
help of some complex translation, the islands of Puerto
Rico and Guadeloupe. The Pizzigano map is currently held
as part of the James Ford Bell collection at the University
of Minnesota. For more information please visit: www.bell.lib.umn.edu.
