Fra Mauro, a Venetian monk, created a world map in 1459 that revolutionized cartography and our understanding of the globe. This groundbreaking map, one of the oldest and most complete Medieval maps, was not just a representation of the known world, but also a testament to Fra Mauro's innovative thinking and dedication.

The book explores how Fra Mauro's map, with its accurate depiction of land and water, marked a shift from religious and mythical cartography to a more scientific approach. It highlights how Fra Mauro's work challenged existing beliefs and contributed to the development of a more accurate and realistic understanding of the world, paving the way for increased international trade and exploration.
