Historical World map from the first half of the sixteenth century created by Oronce Finé.
The map depicts the world on a particular heart-shaped chart, divided into meridians and parallels, with the outlines of the continents of the time. It is a physical map, highlighting the largest rivers known at the time. The map is inserted inside a kind of tabernacle with two columns on the sides, where, in the lower position, in the right and left corners, there are inscriptions in Latin.
Oronzio Fineo, in French Oronce Finé, in Latin Orontius Finnaeus (Briançon, December 20, 1494 – Paris, August 8, 1555) was a French mathematician, cartographer, and astrologer.
