A scarce and handsome miniature woodblock map of Southeast Asia, extending from the Ganges River in the west to China in the east, and south to Java. The geography is quite rudimentary, with Sumatra (Samotrae) placed too far west and a very small Borneo. Major mountains, rivers and cities are depicted inland. Petri was Sebastian Munster's stepson and publisher. Latin text on verso.
