Notes: A.E. Nordenskioeld reproduced this map (but containing an additional inscription "Amstelodami apud Ioannem Ianssonium") in his Facsimile-Atlas. Dating it 1599, he lists it as one of only three 16th century maps drawn on Mercator's projection. The provenance given is Linschoten's Itinerarium, Hagae-Comitis 1599. Dedicated to Christopher Thisius by Henricus Hondius. Graphic scale in German miles is given for the equator, 10, 20, and 30 degees of latitude. Nordenskioeld may err in dating his reproduction 1599, as H. Hondius was born 1597, and the map includes Eendrachtland (1616) and de Wit's Land (1628) Pencil note "Atlas H. Hondius Amst. 1641". Shows India, Indonesia, South East Asia, the Phillipines, Nova Guinea, Trial, Timor, G.F. de Wits Land and Eendrachtland. Text on verso: Les Indes. "Les Indes sont la plus noble partie de la terre, & la plus grande qui soit comprise sous un seul nom. (...)" The British Museum's C.H. Coote asserted in Remarkable Maps, the Geography of Australia, that Blaeu's map of East Indies (1640) was pirated and dedicated to D. Christ. Thisio by Hondius and inserted in Nouveau theatre du monde, ou Nouvel Atlas 1642, omitting Willems Rivier. Exhibited in: Crux. Rare maps from the State Library of NSW.
