Known as the “Columbus Map,” this nautical chart was produced in Lisbon shortly before the discovery of the New World. On the left is an image of the Christianized Ptolemaic world with the spheres of the Planets, the Earth at the center, and the Earthly Paradise on an island off the eastern coast of Asia.
