The geography recreated by Father Miguel Daza in El Caballero de la Fe (1583) reveals a noticeable interest in reproducing in words the cartography of the known world, in accordance with the best scientific knowledge of his time. As this study aims to demonstrate, this is possible thanks to the skilful use that this clergyman from Sigüenza makes of various contemporary treatises, to which Daza turns for numerous geographical descriptions that convert his false chronicle into an authentic «map for sailors»
