Highly distorted and inaccurate map by Girolamo Ruscelli after Jacopo Gastaldi's 1548 miniature map of this region, that introduced new knowledge from the Portuguese explorations. This map is from Ruscelli's 'La Geographi di Claudio Tolomeo'. Just to the west and south of Malacca one will notice ‘Camatra’ (Sumatra) and Java. China with Canton in the upper right corner. An excellent collector's copy with wide margins and soft original old colors. Fold in middle as originally published. See less
