(en) Portolan chart

English: Portolan charts are navigational maps based on realistic descriptions of harbours and coasts. They were first made in the 1300s in Genoa, Venice and Mallorca. With the advent of the Age of Discovery, they were considered State secrets in Portugal and Spain, very valuable in the description of Atlantic and Indian coastlines for newcomer English and Dutch raiding, and later trading, ships. The word portolan comes from the Italian adjective portolano, meaning "related to ports or harbours."

A link to a recent presentation about the Portolan Chards can be found on the Dutch Wiki-page about this subject.

Français : Les Portulans sont des cartes de navigation maritime basées sur des descriptions visuelles de ports et de côtes. Les premières semblent avoir été réalisées à la fin du XIIIème siècle et au début du XIVème siècle à Gênes, à Venise et à Majorque. À l'époque des Grandes Découvertes, elles étaient considérées comme secrets d'Etat au Portugal et en Espagne, en raison de leur grande valeur pour les navires d'exploration, puis de commerce, des puissances maritimes émergentes comme les Pays-Bas ou l'Angleterre. (Le mot "portulan" provient de l'adjectif italien portolano, qui signifie relatif aux ports).
