Iava Maior (Java Major) Map by John van Linschoten – 1598 – CDS700

Woodblock on page of text from ‘Iohn Huighen van Linschoten his discours of Voyages into ye Easte & West Indies’, (London 1598).

A map based on Portuguese charts, from the first English edition of van Linschoten’s ‘Itinerario: Voyages ofte schipvaert van Jan Huyghen van Linschoten naer Ooost ofte Portugaels Indien’, 1579-1592 (1596).

Van Linschoten was a Dutchman who had spent a lengthy period in Portuguese service in Goa. In gathering and publishing higherto unknown information and maps relating to the Spice Islands, he enabled the Dutch and English to challenge the Portuguese monopoly in the East Indies. The placenames on the maps in van Linschoten’s work are in Portuguese, and the last section is a brief history of Portugal, suggesting the possiblity that van Linschoten had perhaps obtained a manuscript copy of the Portuguese geographer Barros’ fabled, incomplete and unpublished work, ‘Treatise on Geography’.
