Show moreThis map is Copper-plate engraving, an enlargement of Gastaldi, Giacomos map of 1548, but is certainly better drawn, more finely done than the earlier one, but with less detail. Italian text on verso, it also provides more information than the standard maps. The Qatar peninsula south east of Bahrain (Baharam) can be clearly distinguished. The sea monster was not shown on the 1548 Map. This map is published in 1561 and reprinted in 1562, 1564 and 1574 and completely reworked for Geographia di Claudio Tolemeo in 1598-1599.
