This is an anonymous atlas under the assigned title 'Atlas nautique du monde'. It is attributed to João Albernaz Teixeira and dated around 1628 by Armando Cortesão after analyzing all the charts and comparing it with other works by the same author. The original atlas has two ex libris, one of Jean-Charles de Mesgrigny and the other of the Duchesse de Berry. The charts depicts East Africa from Mozambique to the entrance of the Red Sea, southern India, Sir Lanka (Ceylon), islands and reefs of the Indian Ocean.
