Jorge Reinel

Jorge Reinel

Jorge Reinel (c. 1502 – after 1572) born Lisbon renown Portuguese cartographer and instructor in cartography, son of the well-known cartographer Pedro Reinel. He had trained many pupils in the art of cartography such as Portuguese Diogo Ribeiro.

Reinel maps were used to support the claims of the crown of Castile to the spice-producing Molucca Islands. He has also produced maps of the west coast of Africa, the North Atlantic, the South Atlantic. Scholars think that Reinel, after getting into trouble in Lisbon in the early 1500s and fleeing to Spain, made the first map of the world.
