Description
  1. [World], Agnese, c. 1535-1538. Published in Venice, held by the Getty Institute.
    • No development on the western coast of America. Verrazano information, including Sea of Verrazano, is not yet incorporated.
  2. [World], Agnese, c. 1540. Published in Venice, held by the BNF.
    • The Sea of Verrazano is added. Additional detail to the west coast of North America is incorporated.
  3. [World], Agnese. c. 1541. Published in Venice, held by the Swedish Royal Library.
    • "California" appears, but as an archipelago, rather than a peninsula, following Cortez.
  4. [World], Agnese. 1542. Published in Venice, held by the Vatican Library.
    • California appears clearly delimited as an island. The Sea of Verrazano remains.
  5. [The Florentine Goldsmith's Map]. c. 1542-1545. 
    • Following Agnese, California is shown as a peninsula and the Sea of Verrazano appears. Departing from the Agnese tradition, North America is connected to Asia. This connection is only north of the Sea of Verrazano.
  6. Universalis Exactissimia Atque, Gastalid, 1546 [reproduced by De Jode in Antwerp, 1555, and held by the BNF]
    • California remains a peninsula, but the Sea of Verrazano disappears. North America is connected to Asia just north of California.
