[Africa]

Description:: Appears in: Atlante Veneto

Six gores assembled to form one map. One of the most detailed of early maps of Africa.
Coronelli stated "besides outlining the Monomotapa and Abyssinia Countries we have been the
first to describe correctly the source of Nile River, correcting by many degrees the errors
of the Ancients." (E.L. Stevenson, Terrestrial and Celestial Globes, vol. 2, p. 102).
