Note:	This map by Arnold Florent van Langren was engraved by Hendrik Floris van Langren for the 'Itinerario, voyage ofte schipvaert, van Jan Huygen van Linschoten naer Oost ofte Portugaels Indien' by Jan Huygen Linschoten. The work is basically an instruction sailing manual to the East Indies that help terminate Portuguese trade hegemony in Asia. It was among the most important sources of information on Southeast Asia during the 16th century. Linschoten acquired most of the information about Southeast Asia during his employment as secretary to the Portuguese archbishop in Goa from 1583 to 1589. This map is clearly based on Portuguese portolan charts, mostly from Fernão Vaz Dourado, Bartolomeu Lasso and Jorge Luís de Barbuda, however, there is also an influence from Plancius, that curiously enough also had Portuguese sources on the base of his maps. On the map are depicted China, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Strait of Malacca, Borneo, Java, Timor and part of Papua New Guinea, there is also the mythical land of Marco Polo 'Beach provincia aurifera' where Australia would eventually be discovered. Korea is still depicted as an island as was common at the time. Japan is still represented in the 'Dourado type', opposed to the later 'Teixeira type', and China is obviously based on the map 'Chinae, olim Sinarum regionis, nova descriptio' by Barbuda, who depicts the interior with a network of rivers emanating from several large lakes.
