Note:

This chart is part of the anonymous atlas under the assigned title 'Atlas nautique du monde'. This atlas is attributed to João Albernaz Teixeira and dated around 1628 by Armando Cortesão after analyzing all the charts and comparing it with other works by the same author. The original atlas has two ex libris, one of Jean-Charles de Mesgrigny and the other of the Duchesse de Berry. On this particular chart there is represented the China coast with the Golf of Tonkin, Korea, northern Philippines, Taiwan, Japan and Yezo. Japan is already represented in the Teixeira model promulgated by Luís Teixeira (1564-1604), João Teixeira's father. All the coast lines are full of place names except for Korea which showcases the little knowledge of Westerns about the country.
