EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chart, created by the Spanish cartographer Juan de la Cosa around 1500, is one of the earliest known European maps to depict both the Americas and Africa. Known as the "Mapy-Mapy" or "Mappa Mundi of Juan de la Cosa," this parchment map measures approximately 1.3 meters in diameter and was likely used for naval navigation. Born in the Basque region of Spain around 1450, Juan de la Cosa was a skilled navigator and cartographer who made significant contributions to the emerging field of cartography during the Age of Discovery. His chart is notable for its detailed representation of the known world at the time, including the western coasts of Europe, the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean, and the eastern coasts of North and South America. The map was discovered in the late 19th century in the Royal Archives of Madrid and is now housed in the Mavy Museum in Madrid, Spain. It is believed to have been created around 1500, making it an important artifact from the Middle Ages and a valuable resource for historians and scholars studying the history of cartography and European exploration. The map is also notable for its intricate and colorful decorative elements, which include illustrations of various mythical creatures, sea monsters, and exotic animals from different parts of the world. These elements reflect the fascination and curiosity of Europeans during the Age of Discovery, as they explored new lands and encountered new cultures and peoples. Overall, the Mapy-Mapy of Juan de la Cosa is a remarkable piece of cartographic history, providing valuable insights into the worldview of Europeans during the late 15th century and the early modern age. Its intricate details and decorative elements continue to captivate and inspire scholars and visitors alike, making it a must-see attraction at the Mavy Museum in Madrid.
