A BRIGHT COPY. "For a long time Bordone's world map was cited as the first drawn on an oval projection, prior to the discovery of Francesco Rosselli's map of c. 1508 using this form of construction. References within Bordone's book indicate that he had been occupied on its compilation for many years prior to publication ... his 1528 map is undoubtedly based on Rosselli's oval one although there are several points of difference; for instance the omission of all antarctic lands and the separation of Asia and America. Rosselli's truncated form of South America is retained" (Shirley, 59).
