Terzo volume delle nauigationi et viaggi is a 1556 Venetian collection of travel accounts compiled by Giovanni Battista Ramusio and printed by the Giunti press for a general readership of armchair geographers and scholars. Its pictures are woodcut maps of Africa and the Atlantic coast, with rhumb-line seas, ships, sea monsters, and hatched mountains that show how sixteenth-century cartographers drew coastlines and ocean life.
