La obra de Martín Cortés "Breve compendio de la sphera y de la arte de navegar, con nuevos instrumentos y reglas, exemplificado con muy subtiles demonstraciones" está formada por 95 folios y 3 hojas y fue impresa por Francisco Fernández de Córdova.

Contiene información al uso en los tratados de navegación como la composición del mundo a través de un tratado de la esfera, los movimientos del sol y de la luna y la composición y uso de instrumentos y reglas del Arte de la Navegación.

Fue el primero en exponer que los meridianos magnéticos se cortaban en un punto distinto al polo terrestre explicando las variaciones magnéticas. La obra tuvo mucha importancia en Inglaterra con más de cinco ediciones traducidas. ( )
