Anthony de Montserrat is remembered for reaching places that the written record had not yet described.
The record lists Anthony de Montserrat as Spanish presbyter and cartographer.
Anthony de Montserrat was born at Vic in 1536. His recorded nationality is Hispanic Monarchy.
The Age of Discovery was driven by Iberian crowns, the caravel and the search for a sea route to the spice trade - and it opened the Atlantic world with consequences its sailors never intended.
He is recorded as presbyter, cartographer and missionary.
What an expedition is remembered for is rarely what it set out to do.
Anthony de Montserrat died in 1605, aged 69. The routes and charts outlived the journey, which is how exploration is actually measured.
