Note:
These sheet belongs to an atlas, or rather a group of unfinished 8 loose sheets, attributed to Diogo Homem; making it his work about which more has been written. Even not signed the work is clearly Homem's and is actually one which presents features not found in any other in his vast series of works. It is in fact the only work where he uses Portuguese and Latin, the former he never once used it again in any other of his works, even though it was his native language. This chart is the least complete of the atlas and is very badly preserved. It depicts the Middle East extending from the East Mediterranean (M. Judaico) and Black Sea (Mar Maior) with the Caspian Sea until a small part of Gulf of Bengal. There are a few toponyms on the map but north of the Caspian Sea, it was kept blank.
