Map of Southeast Asia

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Abraham Ortelius turned to Mercator's world map of 1569 for his regional map of Southeast Asia. Consequently, Borneo is reduced to a narrow cigar shape and the southern coast of Java is shown, although it is pure conjecture on Ortelius's part. Taiwan (Formosa), the Moluccas Islands, and the Spice Islands are charted. However the Philippines are still jumbled with the Marianas; Luzon being placed erroneously just off the west coast of Mindanao. Decorations include mermaids and a galleon being attacked by two sea monsters.
