In 1598 Barent Langenes published in Middleburgh a miniature atlas to rival that of Abraham Ortelius. The maps were largely engraved by Jodocus Hondius and his brother-in-law Pieter van den Keere. This particular map did not make an appearance until the second edition in 1599. It was then almost immediately replaced with another in 1602. This map only appears in three editions of the series of maps, one by Barent Langenes and two in the “Thresor des Cartes” by Petrus Bertius both in 1600. It features the tip of the Indian peninsula and most of Ceylon. The Maldives may also be seen off the western coast. French text on verso.
