"Taprobanum Insulum Hodie Vocant Sumatrum......" Copper etching from: "Geographia" by Claudio Ptolemy. Originally edited and published by Willibald Pirckheimer. This edition, which comprises all 64 maps of the "B" edition, including the "New World", was published by Josephus Meletius 1562 in Venice.

For historians this map is more than interesting. The shape, of course, does not correspond to that of modern Sumatra. Neither do the names of towns, rivers and mountains, but that is a challenge for those who know Sumatra to investigate! On the left is an elephant in front of a tree and the line below the elephant going across the map is the Equator. Verso: Text in Italian about history and geography of Sumatra. Map is most likely Sri-Lanka.
