Note:

This chart is part of a series of world maps called 'Dieppe maps'. These were produced in Dieppe, France, in the 1540s, 1550s, and 1560s. They are large handmade maps, commissioned for wealthy and royal patrons. This particular map is included in a manuscript containing a Portolan chart and a Nautical almanac. Although the author Harrisse in his 'Découverte fortuite de l'Australie' -among others- have assigned the work to Giovanni Benedetto, it is now attributed to Guillaume Brouscon because of the Breton saints in the calendar, the Breton port nomenclature, and the marked similarities to other Brouscon manuscripts. On the chart America is already included although the Western and Northern borders of North America are not complete. South America is greatly enlarged with an outline that resembles Australia. At the right there is 'Terre Ostrale' connected to Java that, in the author's view, could be a continent of sorts extending to the pole. Like most nautical charts the map in richer on coast place names but has very few or none in territorial interiors. The coat of arms on the bottom was originally bound into the front of the volume.

In Europe it can be seen coats of arms of the different kingdoms and in America there are flags of Portugal, Spain and even France. Jerusalem is depicted as a calvary and the Red Sea is painted red. On the bottom side oriented East there is the coat of arms of Artus de Cossé, Maréchal de France (1512-1582), most probably the first owner of the work.
