    This is a superb historical map of southern Asia, centered on India and covers from Egypt to Indonesia as far as Java. Jansson based this map on Ortelius' historical map of the same title, which was in turn based on the account of Arian, the Roman governor of Cappadocia (AD 134). Arian's description of Asia included the accounts of Alexander the Great among his sources. In the upper right is an inset of the north pole (Hyperborei) showing but then yet to be discovered passage to the Far East via the North Pole. To balance the composition, an inset of Annonis Periplus occupies the upper left corner. This small inset represents the Northwest coast of Africa showing part of the explorations of the ancient King Hanno from Carthogo, who legend says was the first to sail around the continent of Africa to reach the Arabian Sea. The map is richly engraved with two cartouches, strapwork engraving around the insets and an array of monsters and sailing ships.
