Angelino Dulcert

Angelino Dulcert (fl. 1339), probably the same person known as Angelino de Dalorto (fl. 1320s),[1] and whose real name was probably Angelino de Dulceto or Dulceti[2] or possibly Angelí Dolcet, was an Italian-Majorcan cartographer.

He is responsible for two notable 14th-century portolan charts, the "Dalorto" chart of 1325 and the "Dulcert" chart of 1339. The latter is the first portolan known to have been produced in Palma, and considered the founding piece of the Majorcan cartographic school. He is also believed to be the author of a third undated and unsigned chart held in London.[3]
