Sometime around the year 1450, a monk living just outside of Venice created one of the greatest maps of the medieval world. 

It was an enormous map, even by modern standards, and it had a level of detail that had never been seen before. 

It took years to make and was a major advancement in cartography. 

Perhaps most importantly, it contained many details that no one had yet verified firsthand.
