The Catalan Atlas is a medieval world map, or mappa mundi, probably created in the late 1370s or the early 1380s, that has been described as the most important map of the Middle Ages in the Catalan language, and as "the zenith of medieval map-work".

Majorcan cartographic school
"Majorcan cartographic school" is the term coined by historians to refer to the collection of predominantly Jewish cartographers, cosmographers and navigational instrument-makers and some Christian associates that flourished in Majorca in the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries until the expulsion of the Jews. The label is usually inclusive of those who worked in Catalonia. The Majorcan school is frequently contrasted with the contemporary Italian cartography school.
