there are also Swabia, Lower Germany, Scotland, Ireland,
England, and all of France. And with these are all the
other countries up to the mountain of Mont Jus. This is enough
just about Europe (check this). Now we will explain to
you what is contained in Africa. [rubric:] Here speaks of Africa
and of its regions and countries. [/rubric] After Europe comes
Africa, of which the first region is Lybe. It is a very rich,
populous, and well-defended place. After that comes the kingdom
of Syria, Jerusalem, and the land around it. This is the Holy
Land, where Our Lord Jesus Christ underwent his passion
and death, and where he was resurrected from death to life.
Then come Greece, Cyprus, Sicily, Tuscany, Naples, Lombardy,
Alexandria, Gascony, Spain, Catalonia,
Galicia, Navarre, Portugal, and many other good
countries that I will not describe to you. There
are also regions, cities, and countries that take
their names from certain beasts that live in those
lands, and the cities have taken their form from them. Thus
