Part two, of three maps of Asia by Gastaldi, published between 1559 and 1561. It covers the modern geographical areas of Egypt, Ethiopia, Somalia, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, part of Iraq and Iran, Pakistan and the west coast of India.
The published travels of Marco Polo, that had appeared in Ramusio’s “Navigationi et viaggi” heavily influence Gastaldi’s geography of this map, which is considered to be far superior to all previous maps of Asia.
