18. The Atlas is now in the Vatican (Cod. Pal. Lat. 1886). The Agnese workshop
seems in effect to have been the official supplier of presentation manuscript
charts to the Venetian Republic (with Jacopo Gastaldi performing the same
function for printed and painted maps): the same role performed a century
later by the Blaeu dynasty on the Dutch Republic. For Agnese see H.R. Wagner
(1931) The Manuscript Atlases of Battista Agnese, reprinted for private circula-
tion from ‘The Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America’, Vol. 125
(Chicago: University of Chicago Press); H.R. Wagner (1947) ‘Additions to the
Manuscript Atlases of Battista Agnese’, Imago Mundi 4, 28–30. On the same
occasion another, smaller atlas (now Lambeth MS 463) may have been
presented to Edward, Prince of Wales.

Pepys recorded that after dinner he showed his friends and relatives ‘a
map of Tangier . . . cut by our order, the Commissioners, new drawn by
Jonas Moore – which is very pleasant and I purpose to have it finely set
