Fra Mauro
- Minor
- First seen · Book 1 · Ch. 16
Fra Mauro is evoked through the meeting of two patient callings: the monk’s inward quiet and the mapmaker’s gaze toward the wider world. The text gives no glimpse of his face, but his name suggests a mind attentive to distances, coastlines, and the shape of elsewhere.
