Description
Nederlands: Kaart van Zuidelijk Afrika.

Aethiopia inferior vel exterior. Partes magis Septentrionales, quae hic desiderantur, vide in tabula Aethiopia Superioris.

Op de kaart zijn verscheidene diersoorten en schepen ingetekend.

Dr. Olfert Dapper (1636-1689) publiceerde na 1663 een groot aantal boeken. Hij schreef een geschiedenis van de stad Amsterdam en verzorgde de eerste Nederlandse vertaling van Herodotus. Hij is echter vooral bekend vanwege zijn vele beschrijvingen van vreemde landen die hij uit verschillende bronnen samenstelde, zonder dat hij de landen waarover hij schreef ooit zag. Deze afbeelding is afkomstig uit een beschrijving van Afrika.
English: Map of Southern Africa.

Aethiopia inferior vel exterior. Partes magis Septentrionales, quae hic desiderantur, vide in tabula Aethiopia Superioris.

The map shows various animal species and ships on the sea.

Dr Olfert Dapper (1636-1689) published a large number of books after 1663. He wrote a history of the city of Amsterdam and furnished the first Dutch translation of Herodotus. But he is known particularly for his many descriptions of foreign lands which he compiled from various sources, without ever seeing the countries he wrote about for himself. This plate is taken from a description of Africa.
