Handsome small map of Africa and Arabia based on Ortelius. Rendered in the Italian style with a stipple engraved sea and decorative calligraphy. The Nile rises from twin lakes south of the Equator, one of which also spawns a southeasterly flowing river that empties into the Indian Ocean. The coastal names appearing around southern Africa are as originally laid down by Portuguese explorers. A small sea monster lurks between Africa and the Brazilian coast. The map is filled with city names, although Monomotapa and Vigiti Magna are noticeably missing. On a full sheet of Italian text with text on verso.
