Regni Hispanae (Kingdom of Spain). Spain, according to Strabo, resembles an ox-hide spread upon the ground. It is surrounded by the sea on all sides, except where it is separated from France by the Pyrenee mountains. On the East it has the Pyrenee mountains just mentioned, which from the Temple of Venus, or the promontory stretched out near Illiberis (now Colibre) runs on to the British Ocean. And this is the very narrowest part of Spain.” from text on back of map translated by Marcel van den Broecke”
