Universal Atlas, Diogo Homem

Discover this breathtaking example of Portuguese cartography.

The Universal Atlas of Diogo Homem is a must-have for any lover of art, history or cartography. Our international experts will lead you through the Age of Discoveries and the rapidly changing world of nautical exploration: from the stronghold of Mallorcan cartographic influence, through the birth and flourishing of Portuguese map-making and global overseas exploration in the 1400s, and ending in the early 16th century with the heyday of Portuguese cartography and its international influence.

The protagonist of this story can only be Diogo Homem´s stunningly beautiful Universal Atlas (1565). We are introduced to the Reinel and Homem families and their schools of cartography, as well as delving into what is known about their lives, legacies and place in the Portuguese-Spanish rivalry to colonise the world.

This luxury-edition bilingual volume not only provides an introduction to Portuguese cartography and nautical navigation, but is also replete with richly-coloured and beautifully detailed maps and illustrations, making this a book as visually spectacular as it is fascinating.
