*Pujades A9 (Campbell Census 33), the anonymous Genoese atlas in Paris (MS Lat.4850). The final sheets, covering the eastern Mediterranean and

Black Sea respectively, were omitted from the DVD. However they are reproduced in the accompanying volume, Les Cartes Portolanes (2007), pp.134-5.

# This entry concerns the two later sheets of the 1373 Pizzigano atlas: 6. Aegean and 8. Adriatic

The later sheets 6 & 7 of the Pinelli-Walckenaer Atlas are considered later, see 15th century Italian charts, Part 2.

Neither the Carte Pisane (Pujades C1 = Campbell Census 14), nor the Cortona chart (Pujades C2 = Campbell Census 62) was analysed, since neither has

island and estuary colouring. However, see the comments on:

The destroyed Carignano chart (of which an old photograph is reproduced on the Pujades DVD, C6 = Campbell Census 65) was not clear enough for

analysis. The same applies to the Venetian chart (Pizzigano family?) formerly owned by Youssouf Kamal (Pujades DVD, C23 = Campbell Census 161).
