Sažetak
Appearance of portulan charts late in the 13th century is very important turning-point in the history of cartography. After long period of Middle Ages decline which has been characterised by monastic maps with predominant biblical element, the cartography turn back to the geographical reality. Portulan charts represented first more faithfully made cartographic survey of our coast, so they are very important source not only for developing of cartography or navigation, but also for researching history of our coast. Between 13th and 16th century when the portulans has been made, there was two cartographic schools of portulans – Venetian and Catalonian. Those portulans vary in same geographical and ornamental elements. One of those valuable masterpiece is kept in Cartographic Collection of Croatian State Archives. This is maritime atlas of Portuguese cartographer Diego Homen, made in Venice about 1570. Atlas contains seven manuscript portulan charts which presenting Venetian cartographic school, but also with same influences of Catalonian cartography.
