Summary[edit]

Description
English: An Accurate and Exact Layout of the Bays, Seas, and Lands in the Area of China, Cochinchina, Cambodia or Champa, Siam, Malacca, Arracan, and Pegu along with a Description of All Nearby Islands Including Sumatra, Java, Timor, the Moluccas, the Philippines, Luzon, and the Ryukyus, without Forgetting the Islands of Japan and Korea and Everything Nearby, Taken from the Latest Portuguese Charts.


Map of East and Southeast Asia as known to the Dutch in 1595, when much of Indonesia was controlled as the Portuguese East Indies. Korea appears as an island. A potential early discovery of Australia is noted, later treated as the Nuca Antara of Manuel Godinho de Eredia. Scale in "German miles" and Spanish leagues of 17½ [leagues] to each [equatorial] degree. Originally intended to accompany Linschoten's Itinerario...

Intended to be folded to fit into the book, it is meant as a companion piece to the nearby map of India at the same scale. Listed in Cornelius Claesz's 1609 Const ende Caert-Register as "De Moluken van Ian Huyghen". Later pirated by Robert Beckit in London for the English edition of the Itinerario published by John Wolfe in 1598.
