Held by his heirs until the year 2000 when it was purchased by the Italian government. Now held in the Estense Library, Modena, Italy. Also known as the Modena or Mantua Planisphere. 209.5 × 81 cm. The unsigned map is thought to be a copy of the Spanish standard map held by the Casa de Contratacion in Seville, Spain, by either Diogo Robero or Nuño García de Toreno (García Torenño).
