== SYNOPSIS ==
In 1375 the King of France requested from his ally, the King of Aragon, a map of the world. The task was given to a master cartographer by the name of Abraham Cresques. Using the latest technology and information of the world, Cresques labored to produce a world map like never before. His work was a marvel of medieval cartography and a snapshot into the mind of 14th century Europe.
