    Measurements given above are for Chart 1; those of Chart 2 are 397 x 551. Probably made toward the end of the 16th century in Majorca, judging from linguistic characteristics. Probably made by a member of the Oliva family according to letter on file from H. Derek Howse of the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich.
