Description
Within Africa, which is left blank, there is a large dedicatory cartouche. It lauds the work of the Jesuits, or the Society of Jesus, who were then the leading Catholic missionaries in Asia. The map itself contains interesting detail on Abel Tasman's discoveries in Australiaas well as those made by Maarten de Vries to the north of Japan in 1643. Sweet, in his catalogue on Asia, states that Coronelli probably collaborated with Tillemon, producing this exceptionally accurate and up to date map. The discoveries from both Tasman's voyages in 1642-43 and 1644 are noted. Many of the early Dutch discoveries in Australiaare noted, and Australiais given two titles - Het Niew Hollandt and Nuova Hollanda.
