Note:

This is a map of the Philippines, Borneo and part of Indonesia. It is not very detailed and is more of the outline of the very important Spice Islands. For trade purposes both the Philippines and the Maluku Islands, both of Spanish occupation, were one of the most important stations in Southeast Asia. The map doesn't present a great number of place names that according to the legend on the scroll work cartouche on the left upper corner of the map, was kept out purposely by the author as to facilitate the reading fo the map and not bring confusion in the quite overwhelming number of islands.
