Included in the atlas is this first printing of a manuscript map made by Spanish conquistador, cartographer, and explorer Juan de la Cosa (ca. 1460-1509), who sailed with the first three voyages of Columbus and was the owner of the Santa María. This chart (XXXIII) incorporates lands discovered in America up to 1500 during expeditions by Spanish, Portuguese, and English expeditions to America.
