It covers the region from India through southern China and the Philippines including all of the Malay peninsula with parts of northern Sumatra and Borneo. The Gulf of Cambay is very exaggerated. The mythical Caiemai Lacus appears northeast of India, along with two large lakes in China. Italian text on verso.
