Genoese map

The Genoese Genoese world map or map is a world map from the year 1457th Its author is unknown. The card is probably due mainly more on the travelogues of Niccolo di Conti, because on those of Marco Polo. It corresponds in its modernity of the maps of the Fra Mauro or exceeds possibly due to good successful representation of the continents. The map also shows a three-masted European -looking ship in the Indian Ocean, which is not likely to be a picture of actual conditions at that time.
