It is certainly well known that the National Maritime Museum holds a superb and precious collection of objects, paintings and manuscripts. However, it is not as well known that among the Museum's Library and Manuscript collections are valuable, occasionally priceless, rare books, charts and atlases. November's Item of the Month is one such volume, the Isolario of Bartolomeo 'Dalli Sonetti'
