This small map of Mediterranean islands is based in part on Ortelius. The central map describes the Greek island Euboea and is surrounded by nine maps of other islands. This composition includes the islands of Sardinia and Corsica [Insularum Sardiniae et Corsicae Antiquadeferm] at top instead of Cyprus, as on Ortelius' map. Three cartouches adorn the map.
