Keywords: Libro del conosçimiento; Bulgaria; Western Black Sea region; nautical charts; portolans
Summary/Abstract: An attempt has been made to more precisely determine the genre characteristic of Libro del conosçimiento based on its specific structure and content. Detailed data on Bulgaria and the Western Black Sea coast are analyzed and their dates are given. Differences in the text passages in the four known transcripts relating to the geographic range examined are identified and hence the conclusion is made that at some point the anonymous Castilian work underwent certain changes.
