Dear Angelo & all In the absence of further information I would go for the simplest explanation, which is that the inventory refers to a mappa-mundi mounted in a frame, with a protective glass. If the word is really 'mapa-mundo' then it hardly refers to a globe which, as far as I know, were called 'pomas' or 'globos' in Portuguese. Best wishes, Joaquim Alves Gaspar
