The Geographic Compendium of Pedro Texeira is a small-format manuscript comprising a world map, a map of Iberia, and six detailed maps of Iberian coastlines, accompanied by prose descriptions. Dedicated to Diego Messía y Felípez de Guzmán, Marquis of Leganés, it was made between 1630 and 1634 in Madrid, where the Portuguese-born Pedro settled. The maps are all executed in ink with delicate washes of blue and ocher, bold opaque red, and gold. The maps of Iberia and its coastlines feature images of sailing ships and small bird's-eye-view representations of large cities.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
