A map of India and Southeast Asia, showing the Philippines and Indonesia
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: A map of India and Southeast Asia, showing the Philippines and Indonesia. It was first published in 1548 in Gastaldi's edition of Ptolemy's Geographia. It is based on Gastaldi's world map of 1546. Ruscelli subsequently enlarged it for his Geografia di Claudio Tolomeo in 1561. The map represents the transition from a Ptolemaic and Polian era to a Southeast Asia based on the new discoveries of Portugal and Spain. All the islands are rudimentary in form and orientation, with the exception of Palawan, which is well oriented and delineated. The Malay peninsula has a leaf-like shape resembling Ptolemy's Golden Chersonese. Singapore is marked as "Cinca pula". |
