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. A very fine early map of the southern tip of the Indian peninsula with a nearby Ceylon. With additional letterpress title above map ‘Descriptio Regni Malabar’. Engraved by Petrus Kaerius with Latin text on verso. This particular issue is from its inclusion in the geography work by Petrus Bertius entitled ‘Tabularum Geographicarum Contractarum’ published in 1600. Van der Krogt, P. (Atlantes) 8320:341; Shirley “Atlases in the BL” T.Lan 1a.
