A Description of the Coasts of East Africa and Malabar in the Beginning of the Sixteenth Century

Note 1 — TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE.

Henry Edward John Stanley Stanley translation

I have been informed by Mr. Winter Jones that Diego Ribero drew up a map of the world in 1529, of which Sprengel wrote an account in 1795, called, Über J. Ribero's alteste Weltcharte. He gives the western hemisphere only, the eastern hemisphere has been published by the Vte. Santarem. This might be the means by which the orthography and errors of this work passed into the maps of Ortelius.
