This sheet contains several maps of Mediterranean islands in classical times, all based in part on Ortelius. The central map [Euboea Insula] 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 Antiqua Descriptio] at top instead of Cyprus, as on Ortelius' map. Each shows tiny villages, rivers and mountains in profile and is decorated by sailing ships, except for Samos, which is adorned with a sea monster. Blank verso with manuscript number 35 on verso, published between 1652-84. First issued in Georgius Hornius' Accuratissima Orbis Antiqui Delineatio, which included maps from Johannes Jansson's historical atlas and Abraham Ortelius' Parergon.
