ATLAS MILLER | Luxury Edition Art Book: Silk Bound, Hardcover, Dust-jacket, Full Colour | 427 pages | 10x16 in | 25x40 cm | One of the great ancient maps and atlases ever

The Atlas Miller was conceived as a present from King Manuel I of Portugal to Emperor Charles V. Allegedly, this present was not given to Emperor Charles V to compliment him, but to make him believe Magellan's expedition was destined to failure, so he would cancel it and would even order Magellan's imprisonment or execution.\nYou can find out everything about this conspiracy in this book, apart from the explanation of all the illuminations and maps in this atlas, considered by the experts as the most beautiful ever.\nGerardus Mercator, Pedro Teixeira, Claudius Ptolemy, Andreas Cellarius, Joan Blaeu, Fra Mauro, Juan de la Cosa, Ambrosius Holbein, Abraham Cresques, Abraham Hortelius... none made the atlas to rival Atlas Miller.
