Illustraion from raw scan of The story of geographical discovery: how the world became known Jacobs, Joseph, 1854-1916 New York : D. Appleton The description in that work states: "The World according to Ptolemy.—It will be observed that the Greek geographer regarded the Indian Ocean as a landlocked body of water, while he appears to have some knowledge of the sources of the Nile. The general tendency of the map is to extend Asia very much to the east, which led to the miscalculation encouraging Columbus to discover America" |
