"Mappamondo di Martino Sanuto, che contiene le cognizioni Geografiche acqustate specialmente per le Crociate fino circa all' anno 1300"

Jerusalem is marked with a cross as the center of the "world map". The map was designed by the cartographer Pietro Vesconte. His life dates are unknown. He was a Genovese (from Genua) and went to Venice where he was the first ever to publish portolan maps. Marino Sanudo the elder (1260-1338) was a Venetian geographer and influential politician, who is known to have promoted crusades to liberate Jerusalem and Palestine from Moslem rule. He used this very interesting map in his book ãLiber Secretorum Fidelium Crucis", which was guide for crusaders. First published in 1306/07. The book had a second edition in 1321, in which this map was published.
