Il mappamondo di Fra Mauro (1459-60) recentemente restaurato sarà nuovamente visibile nelle Sale Monumentali della Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana di Venezia in occasione della mostra "San Michele in Isola. Isola della conoscenza" dal
12 Maggio al 2 Settembre 2012 nell'ambito della mostra. Il planisfero della Biblioteca Marciana è leggermente ellittico e iscritto in un quadrato con i lati di 2,23 metri; è privo di scala, così come di meridiani e paralleli; il suo orientamento vede il Sud riprodotto nella parte superiore, secondo l’uso islamico e al contrario del tipo tolemaico (Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana di Venezia).
