  • "The map contains many inaccuracies reflecting the lack of good, first-hand explorations of Asia. The Indian sub-continent is shown too small, whereas in contrast Southeast Asia is beginning to be depicted somewhat correctly. Ceylon, (Zaylon) once shown as a very large island, is now more its proper size, though two islands are shown in the immediate area." -- Dealer's description
