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 of the coasts of Europe, Asia and Africa including Iceland, the British Islands, Azores and Cape Verde Islands. No other regional chart of Europe by Diogo Homem covers so large an area.

There are three 32-point compasses roses on the chart, two with a fleur-de-lis indicating north and one with an arrow indicating north. The rhumb lines for the principal winds are in black, the half-winds in green and the quarter-winds in red. There is an unfinished cartouche intended for the table of leagues on the upper left corner.
