Compendium of Cosmography, Pedro de Medina, circa 1545

Writer's picture: Jean MichelJean Michel

"In 1545, Medina published his most important work, El arte de navegar (The art of navigation), an overview of existing knowledge on this subject. The book was internationally disseminated and quickly translated into several European languages.


Suma de Cosmographia (Compendium of cosmography) is considered an extract of El arte de navegar, containing information on astrology and navigation and written for a nonspecialist audience."
