Summary
DescriptionCEM-15-Asia-Mercator-1595-2531.jpg |
Latina: Asia ex magna Orbis terrae descriptione Gerardi Mercatoris desumpta, studio & industria G.M. Iunioris
English: Asia from the great World [atlas] described by Gerhard Mercator, selected with zeal and diligence by Gerhard Mercator the Younger.
Note that the prime meridian used is not the Greenwich one. Naples is placed at about 40° E, suggesting a prime meridian close to 25° W. But the Bering strait is shown at 180°.
