 [Jigsaw Puzzle from Educa Borras entitled Mapamundi 1375 by Cresques Abraham and Jafuda Cresques]
Mapamundi 1375
by Cresques Abraham and Jafuda Cresques
4000-pc jigsaw puzzle for US$ 73.50

This unique and spectacular puzzle depicts the known world a century before Columbus. The puzzle includes a large, poster-sized print of the map for use as a model in its assembly. This extra magnification will be much welcome when sorting out the beautiful but intricate calligraphy of this map. The Jewish cartographer, Cresques Abraham of Mallorca (d.1381), was a compass maker, watchmaker and nautical instrument maker by trade and lived under the personal protection of the royal families of Spain. He bequeathed a myriad of sea charts, now lost, particularly the outstanding Atlas Català of 1375, made with help from his son Jafudá Cresques.
