Step back into the Golden Age of Exploration with TASCHEN’s exquisite XL facsimile of Jacques Devaulx’s 1583 manuscript. Originally created by the "Naval Pilot to the King," this volume serves as a comprehensive repertoire of Renaissance maritime science and artistic illumination.

It include access to 31 complete folios reproduced with brilliant clarity, featuring nautical charts, astrological tables, and hydrographic records. A standout unique feature is the inclusion of volvelles—complex paper wheel charts used as early analog computers for navigation. Produced in collaboration with the Bibliothèque nationale de France, this multilingual edition (English, French, German) combines historical maps of the Atlantic with expert commentary, contextualizing 16th-century seafaring.

It is an essential for collectors, historians, and lovers of cartography, offering a rare glimpse into the tools that pushed the limits of the known world.
