Description
Nederlands: Deze kaart van Willem Jansz. Blaeu (1571-1638) gold in de 17de eeuw als het model waarvan alle kaarten van Zuid-Afrika werden gekopieerd. De kaart is voor een deel gebaseerd op de kaart het Koninkrijk van Prester John van Abraham Ortelius (1527-1598) uit 1573. Volgens oude legenden bevond zich ergens in het onbekende binnenlanden van Afrika een christelijk koninkrijk. De oostkust van Afrika is vrij nauwkeurig weergegeven waarbij Blaeu vermoedelijk gebruik maakte van Portugese bronnen. De twee grote meren iets onder de evenaar, heeft Blaeu ontleend aan beschrijvingen van de geograaf Ptolemaeus uit de 2e eeuw na Christus. Ze werden beschouwd als de bronnen van de Nijl.
English: This map by Willem Jansz. Blaeu (c.1571-1638) was used as a model in the 17th century for many maps of South-Afric. The map is partly based on the map of the kingdom of Prester John by Abraham Ortelius (1527-1598) from 1573. According to old legends there was a christian kingdom somewhere in the unexplored inlands of Afric. The east coast has been represented relatively accurately for which Blaeu probable made use of Portugese sources. The two great lakes south of the equator were represented based on descriptions by Ptolemeus from the second century. The lakes were believed to be the sources of the River Nile.
