Note:
This 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. In includes a large cosmographic wheel that bears the 12 zodiac signs, solar circle and novilunar table.
