Porcacchi, Thomaso, ca. 1530-1585?

Porcacchi was a cartographer who worked on many maps published in Venice. Copied work by Camocio and had plates engraved by Girolamo Porro [hyperlink] for his work entitled L’Isole Piu famose del Mondo (Pocket-sized atlas of the world).

The Yale Map Department has 42 maps by Porcacchi, most depicting islands around the world from this atlas in 1572 and 1576 editions.
