The Carta Pisana or Carte Pisane is a map probably made at the end of the 13th century, about 1275–1300, currently conserved in the Département des cartes et plans at the Bibliothèque nationale de France. New research suggests that it was made a century later.[1] It was found in Pisa, hence its name. It shows the whole Mediterranean, the Black Sea and a part of the Atlantic coast, from the north of present-day Morocco (down to roughly the 33rd parallel north, with the town of Azemmour[2]) to the present-day Netherlands, but the accuracy of the map is mostly limited to the Mediterranean.[3] It is the oldest surviving nautical chart (that is, not simply a map but a document showing accurate navigational directions).[3][4] It is a portolan chart,[4] showing a detailed survey of the coasts, and many ports, but bears no indication on the topography or toponymy of the inland.[5] On the map, North is on the top, in contrast to other maps of the same period such as the Hereford Mappa Mundi (ca. 1300), where East is on the top.
