Map of Metellino (also known as Lesbos) with place names in Italian, including the now capital Mitilene. Two ruins marked, one as a "Ruine antiche"; also two sites marked "Paleocastro" (Old castle), perhaps referring to the medieval castles that still stand on Lesbos. Sea monsters in the water. Eight-pointed compass rose. Italian text from book of origin on verso.
