Angelino Dulcert, probably the same person known as Angelino de Dalorto and whose real name was probably Angelino de Dulceto or Dulceti or even Angelí Dolcet, was an Italian-Majorcan cartographer. It is believed he was an Italian of Liguria, trained in Genoa who emigrated to Majorca some time in the 1320's or 1330's. Made in Palma, the chart is considered the founding piece of the Majorcan cartographic school and is notable for giving the first modern depiction of the island of Lanzarote, one of the Canary Islands, as 'Insula de Lanzarotus Marocelus', a reference to the Genoese navigator Lancelotto Malocello, and affixes a Genoese shield to mark the island, a custom retained by future mapmakers. Dulcert also introduces what seems like the Portuguese Madeira islands, named here as 'Capraria' and 'Canaria'. Also on this chart there is oldest known heraldic representation connected with Macedonia as a banner of Skopje, a double-headed eagle Gules above the name of the city of 'Scopi' is written 'Servia' (Serbia).
