Maps Stolen from Spain’s National Library

Cosmographia A 1482 edition of the Cosmographia held by Spain’s National Library has been vandalized, El Mundo reports. Two maps were removed despite the Library’s security measures: the volumes are kept in a room accessible only by cardholders. There are approximately 120 copies of the atlas in libraries worldwide, according to the article. Via MapHist; corrections welcome from bona fide Spanish speakers.
