[HistMap-List] 15th Century Tyrrhenian Sea Map.

[Gerard Cheshire]

Dear ISHM list,

Some of you may be interested in the discovery of a map of the Tyrrhenian Sea, dating from c. 1444. The map is pictorial and tells the story of a rescue mission from Ischia, to save the people of Vulcano following a volcanic eruption.
