At the bottom a river landscape with the harbors of Mesopotamia, the Ottoman Empire, Italy, Spain and Hungary. In the foreground scholars engaged in science. In the middle a king listening to his advisors. In the margin a Latin panegyric on the influence of the planet Jupiter on the regions of the Middle East and the Mediterranean.
