Portolan of Antonio Millo is a portolan chart by Antonio Millo from 1583.[2]
The portolan belonged to the library of the Zamoyski family. During the Warsaw Uprising Germans removed it to Austria.[3] After the World War II it entered the collection of the National Library of Poland.[2] From May 2024, the manuscript is presented at the permanent exhibition in the Palace of the Commonwealth.[4][5]
The manuscript consists of eight artistically made portolano charts.[3] The atlas covers the coasts of Western Europe, the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea, Central America and Africa.[2] The last chart in the Atlas (Africa) carries the inscription Antonius Millo F. M. D. LXXXIII.[3]
