The map consists of two large fragments.

At the extreme West (bottom) and lining the Atlantic coastline of Africa several fantasy islands (e.g. the Hesperides, Gorgades, Membriona, Fortunate Isles) and the Canaries are shown-twice in the case of Membriona and the Fortunate Islands. The centre and Southern (right) parts of the map are almost entirely taken up with notes describing animals-real and imaginary-and the fabulous Marvels of the East which, in this map, are firmly placed in the inhospitable and near-hellish deserts of Ethiopia. - [Authors]
