4. 14th century Catalan Atlas with Timbuktu and Mansa Musa 5 inches or 9 centimetersThis is a small section of a famous map known as the Catalan Atlas, produced in 1375. The Atlas is attributed to Abraham Cresques, a Jewish book illuminator and map maker. The original version is housed at the Bibliothque Nationale de France. (from UC Berkeley) Timbuktu was already a center of trade and learning before Mansa Musa arrived, but it was after he annexed the city to his empire, following his hajj to Mecca, that Timbuktu truly prospered.
