The Catalan Atlas is a world map that compiled Europe’s geographical knowledge in the late 14th century. It was created in 1375 by Elisha ben Abraham Cresques, the master cartographer of Mallorca, Spain. The Catalan Atlas fully reflects Europe's knowledge of world geography, which vastly expanded due to the integration and domination of Eurasia by the Mongol Empire. The cover image depicts the territory of the Yuan Dynasty on the Catalan Atlas.
