We draw attention to the circumstance that this lost world map could clarify politics of the Portuguese monarch Joao II concerning the signing of Tordesillas treaty with the kings of Castilla and Aragon in 1494. We determined that on the eve of the abovementioned treaty signing the Portuguese monarch had protected his sovereign jurisdiction on the lands which would be discovered on the territory of the South Atlantic Ocean water zone. This fact is confirmed by the signing of Toledo treaty in 1480. We as well emphasize that Pereira had realized the reconnaissance of the Portuguese sector of the Atlantic Ocean towards Southwest direction behind the demarcation meridian in 1498. This act has been provoked by the necessity to ensure safety of the Portuguese sea navigation towards India.
