Caverio map (1505)




Drawn by Genoese cartographer Nicola de Caveri, it was probably either made in Lisbon or copied by him in Genoa from a Portuguese map very similar to the Cantino map, if not the Cantino map itself. The Cantino map was in Genoa toward the end of 1502 and presumably the following few years, when Caveri could have used it as the basis of his map.
