The main goal is to unlock this unique and beautiful 17th century Dutch
treasure. To remove the veil from the Cape Verde Islands. In a time that
information and products floated over the seas with the speed of a
sailing ship. </div>

Hessel
Gerritsz was the most influential and innovating mapmaker of 17th
century and the best informed person, without doubt, in geographical and
hydrographical matters in Amsterdam and not only in The Netherlands. In
1627-1628 he compiled a rutter for the Dutch West India Company (WIC).
The 1625 loss of Dutch Brazil made clear that the next attempt of the
WIC had to be more tenacious and that its commanders needed better
information about the areas that had to be seized and could be useful
for trade in the West (read: Atlantic). In this book the part of Hessel
Gerritsz’ handwritten rutter about the Cape Verde Islands (Soute
Eylanden) is translated into Dutch, English and Portuguese. </div>

Strategic information for securing Brazil. The Dutch were eagerly after the yields of sugar cane from the Portuguese. </div>

Right in the middle of Europe and Brazil are the Cabo Verde Islands located. For the Dutch, both for the VOC and WIC, the place for (re)grouping ships and stocking fresh supplies.</div>

A part of this routebook, around 80 pages, is about the Cabo Verde Islands. All the islands are described in detail: defence systems, population and slaves, where to dock, fruit etcetera. Including maps of the islands.</div>

The manuscript is never published or translated. I want to unlock this document - this treasure house - for humanity.

Ben Teensma already made the typoscript in old Dutch and translation in Portuguese. I have to add the translation in modern Dutch and English. And get it published! In an e-book?</div>

Between 1468 and 1480 Benincasa made 9 atlases with maps in it with the Cabo Verde Islands on them. A few weeks ago I learned that one of them is in color. This week I learned that two more are in color too. Now I want to have a copy of all nine maps. I guess they are all in color. I want to compare them and find out how accurate they are.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to Roel Nicolai (<a href="http://press.uu.nl/origin-of-medieval-sea-charts-disproven" target="_blank">more</a>) <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portolan_chart" target="_blank">portolan charts</a> are based on a mathematical model which closely resembles the Mercator projection and not on the input of observations of seaman coming back from their travels. The maps were first. Out of the blue as far as we can tell now.</div>

Conclusion. The distances on this 541 year old map are pretty reliable: average 119% with a standard deviation of 35. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
What's next? I want to find out if the maps improve in time. Are the maps of 1480 more reliable than of 1468? In other words, projection first - out of the blue - and then the maps get better every year because the input of the seaman, returning from the sea, was digest by the mapmaker G. Benincasa?</div>

With a reading glass I tried to read or decipher what is written on the map. Most of the text on this map is in Dutch ('Belgis'). Pretty though to read anything substantial.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Couple of weeks later I looked at the details of this map. <b>Blaeu J 1662</b></div>

Hennig writes in his '<i>Terrae Incognitae, band IV</i>' (page 140 and 209): "<i>die ganze Kapverdischen Inseln erscheinen erstmalig 1468 auf der Benincasa-Karte</i>". Translated: the Cape Verde islands appear for the first time in 1468 on the Benincasa-Karte. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Benincasa's 1468 map? Which map made by Graziosa <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grazioso_Benincasa" target="_blank">Benincasa</a> (around 1400 - unknown) with the Cape Verde Islands included? Between 1468 and 1480 thirteen maps were made by him or imitators and two of them were made in 1468 (<a href="http://www.maphistory.info/BenincasaTables.doc" target="_blank">source</a>):</div>

Correct? According to Tony Campbell from <a href="http://www.maphistory.info/benincasa.html#cape" target="_blank">Map History</a> <b>MS 6390</b> should present 8 islands and <b>Kraus</b> "all" Cape Verde Islands. The first map above has 4 islands and the second one 8. </div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cadamosto tells us - in the report above - that he found the islands, in 1456, after a storm of 2 nights and 3 days on his way to explore the Gambia river. He and his crew were very surprised to find land there. They called the first island they saw Bonavista. They sailed around the island until they found a good anchorage. With a well-armed boot a few crewman landed on the island. They concluded that the island was uninhabited: no trace of human beings. They gave one other islands a name too: Jacob.</span></div>
