Note: 
This is a printed mounted map in two sheets of a sea chart with 5 insets by cartographer, chart maker and cosmographer to the King of Portugal, João Teixeira Albernaz. In fact, the chart is almost an identical copy of the manuscript map [Carte de l'Océan Pacifique], both by the same author and of the same year, also in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France. On the nautical chart are India; the Malay Peninsula to Malacca; Sri Lanka -as 'Ceilaõ'-; Sumatra; Java and Timor with an unfinished and enlarged Papua New Guinea. The insets are of cities and fortresses of Oriental India. Only sheet one is signed and dated but both are obviously drawn en série.
