Map of East and Southeast Asia as known to the Dutch in 1595, when much of Indonesia was controlled as the Portuguese East Indies. Korea appears as an island. A potential early discovery of Australia is noted, later treated as the Nuca Antara of Manuel Godinho de Eredia. Scale in "German miles" and Spanish leagues of 17½ [leagues] to each [equatorial] degree. Originally intended to accompany Linschoten's Itinerario...
Intended to be folded to fit into the book, it is meant as a companion piece to the nearby map of India at the same scale. Listed in Cornelius Claesz's 1609 Const ende Caert-Register as "De Moluken van Ian Huyghen". Later pirated by Robert Beckit in London for the English edition of the Itinerario published by John Wolfe in 1598.
