EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning reproduction showcases two pivotal figures of the 14th century, Jafuda Cresques and his son Abraham Cresques, and their groundbreaking work, the Catalan Atlas. Created in 1375, this atlas is considered one of the most important cartographic achievements of the Middle Ages. The third and fourth leaves of the atlas depict a detailed map of the known world during that time, including the Mediterranean Sea and the westernmost point of Europe, Finisterre. What sets this map apart from others of the era is the inclusion of the first known representation of a compass rose. The compass rose is an essential navigational tool that indicates the cardinal directions, and its inclusion in this map demonstrates the advanced cartographic knowledge of the Cresques family. The original Catalan Atlas is now housed in the National Library of Paris. This reproduction, taken from the Navy Museum in Madrid, Spain, offers a glimpse into the intricate details and vibrant colors of this historic work. The map's borders are adorned with elaborate decorative elements, and the Mediterranean Sea is filled with tiny ships and coastal towns. The map's accuracy and attention to detail reflect the advanced cartographic techniques of the time and the expertise of its creators, Jafuda and Abraham Cresques. Jafuda Cresques, born around 1350, is believed to have been a Jewish cartographer and astronomer from the Balearic Islands. He passed down his knowledge and skills to his son Abraham, who continued the family's cartographic legacy. Abraham is known to have worked on the Catalan Atlas with his father and may have completed it after Jafuda's death in 1381. Their work on the Catalan Atlas represents a significant milestone in the history of cartography and navigation.
