Over the course of the 20th century, however, the dating of the chart to the end of the 13th century, which I myself had considered valid until now, gradually became customary, although there were never sound reasons for that. As a result of this late 13th century dating, another, closely-related chart -the Cortona Chart- was dated to the early 14th century, and another chart that has recently surfaced -the so-called Lucca Chart- has also been presented as a chart created before 1327. This latter chart, moreover, is even more directly related to the Pisana Chart than the Cortona one because it shares many features with it, from the type of gothic script to a whole series of specific characteristics that they could not have shared by chance, and that reveal their derivation from a common model. The big problem is that the Lucca Chart, though also a product of low technical quality, has a much richer content than the rudimentary Pisana Chart. Upon analyzing it carefully, from its ornamentation to the cartographic design, we discover with surprise that it is full of very late elements. So late that some have never been documented until well into the 15th century. These discoveries force us to modify the traditional dating of the Pisana Chart as well, and to acknowledge that in this case as in so many others, we exaggerated the antiquity of the chart by identifying the rudimentary nature with primitivism.
