Abstract
Video Orientation to the University of Pennsylvania Library's LJS 499, a geographical treatise on the locations of all dispersed Jewish peoples, including the first mention of the New World in Hebrew, a diagram representing the sky over the New World, and accounts of the coasts of Africa, India, and the Far East, followed by a copy of a brief 15th-century treatise on chess.
Written in northern Italy, probably Ferrara, after 1525 (Edna Engel).
