He belonged to the third period of old Portuguese nautical cartography, which abandoned Ptolemaic influence in the representation of the Orient and drew lands and continents more accurately. Six of his manuscript atlases survive, dated between 1568 and 1580, each of about twenty sheets on parchment; the 1568 atlas contains the first large-scale charts of Ceylon and Japan. The atlas of 1571, now in the Torre do Tombo archive in Lisbon, is the one this chart comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted as a museum-grade giclée on Hahnemühle fine art paper using 12-ink archival pigment printing.
