The anonymous Portuguese universal map attributed by the French to Pedro de Lemos was drawn up in around 1585. It includes, probably for the first time, the Philippine archipelago. Each hemisphere has its own rhumbline system. The influence of the Treaty of Tondesillas is seen on the map in the division of the world between the Spanish and the Portuguese. The 1618 Atlantic is the only known map of Domingos Sanchez. Patron Saints are represented, especially St Joseph with the infant Jesus, also Saints Benedict, Leonard, Stephen and Barbara.
