The west coast of Greece is clearly shown but the placenames are so small that they are unreadable, even with a failrly powerful magnifier.

There appears to be at least one other reproduction: Karte 12 of "Portulane. Seekarten vom 13. bis zum 17. Jahrhundert" by Michel Mollat du Jourdin, Monique de LaRoncière 292pages, published Fribourg-München, 1984, ISBN: 3777437107 Does anyone have this, and if so, can they se if the western Greek coast is shown relatively clearly to be worth trying to copy?
