wo Ortelius’ fine map of Asia well represents the continent at a time when Europeans were expanding their power
in the far east. The Indian subcontinent and Malaysian peninsula are easily recognizable. Ceylon and Sumatra are
correctly placed. The Philippines are distorted and Japan is too far north and incorrectly orientated, with the
embryonic outline of the three main islands and with the Ryukus and Taiwan appearing as a tail of islands to the
south of the archipelago. - Van den Broecke, Ortelius Atlas maps, 7.
