Gabriel de Vallseca
Gabriel de Vallseca, also referred to as Gabriel de Valseca and Gabriel de Valsequa (Barcelona, before 1408 - Palma, after 1467) was a Catalan cartographer of Jewish descent connected to the Majorcan cartographic school. His most notable map is the portolan of 1439, containing the first depiction of the recently discovered Azores islands.
== Life ==
Gabriel de Valseca was born in Barcelona, to a family of Jewish conversos. He is sometimes said to be the son of Haym ibn Risch (of the Cresques family), who, upon conversion, took the name Juan de Vallsecha.〔Novinsky (1990:68)〕 Alternatively, he had Majorcan relatives through his mother or his wife.〔Ginard Bujosa, p.59. Also ''Encycl. of Majorca''.〕
By 1433, Valseca had left Barcelona and was living in Palma, Majorca, where he soon made a name for himself as a master cartographer, instrument-maker and merchant. He lived in the parish of Santa Creu, in the marine and commercial district of the city. He married Floreta Miró and had two sons, Francesc and Joan, both of which would later have run-ins with the Spanish Inquisition for "judaizing", which suggests their father Gabriel may also have been a crypto-Jew. Valseca wrote out his last will in the city of Majorca in 1467 and died shortly after.〔Families de jueus conversos mallorquines ennoblides a Sicília: Els Tarongí i els Vallseca.
