La reina de Sabà i el preste Joan en les cartes portolanes medievals

Resumen

The luxury medieval portolan charts use to take a varied decoration of historical, ethnographic, natural or religious type, apart from the geographical symbols (urban, water, orographical...). Among the historical or legendary prominent figures ?who have a political base? we find the queen of Saba and Preste Joan, particularly assiduous to the Majorcan cartography, studied here across a historic and artistic prism.
