Map of Asia in the form of Pegasus
Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: This map is from Henrich Bünting's Itinerarium Sacrae Scripturae, first published in 1581. Bunting illustrated Asia in the form of Pegasus, the winded horse from classical mythology. "The head represents Asia Minor with the mouth at Istanbul. The wings portray Central Asia and Siberia. The Caspian Sea appears horizontally between the wings and the saddle. Persia is delineated on the horse blanket with the forelegs forming Arabia. The hind legs represent the Indian and Malay peninsulas." |
