The atlas is bound in Burgundy leather with title "Fernao Vaz Dourado" and what looks like a coat of arms in gilt.
Dim 35x53 cm
Excellent condition
Contains 21 folio double-pages (16 maps, 1 cosmic information page and 2 pages of coordinate lists)

Looking at WorldCat, I suspect there are a number of worldwide institutions that hold this copy:

There are number of similar cataloged entries (i.e. master records), so over 25 libraries would appear to hold this facsimile.
