Date is formed in backwards C. Kashnor notes, "Showing Europe, North Africa, Arabia, and Asia Minor, with the curious insert map of the World, indicating three conjectural locations for Ophir, viz., in South Africa, East Africa, and India." Kashnor gives date of 1624 based on the maps inclusion in the Parergon; the Parergon was first published individually in 1624, but had been included in the Theatrum urbis terrarum as early as 1601 (Van der Krogt, map 0810H:31B). Cartouches: Typical Ortelius with elaborate decoration. Submap: World: "Domini est terra et plenitudo orbis terrarum et universi qui habitant in Eo. Psal. 24."

Kashnor notes, "At the foot is an extremely interesting list of settlers, divided into the various 'tribes.'" 'Nomina, fortunae bona submittentium in quaestus Virginiani alea Ao. 1622, quam fieri potuit accuratißime, expreßa numeris, eorum portiones quam proximè in agrorum divisione referentibus, quae potiones illic separatim distinguntur in regione ipsa, quemadmodum hic lineis ob oculos ponuntur.' A good deal of the property was held by Robert, Earl of Warwick, and the Earl of Devonshire." Kashnor dates as circa 1680. Date based on pagination as established by van der Krogt is 1631.

Visual Materials
Kashnor notes, "A good specimen of an early decorative map in fine state." Kashnor dates as ca. 1670. Rosenthal lists as early as 1640. Van der Krogt dates to between 1635 and 1670 - without printed text on the verso it is difficult to narrow the date further (9950:2B). Coat of arms with dedication to Constantijn Huygens.. Native figures and ships, graduated scale. "qua Tierrae de fuego, cum celeberrimis fretis a F. Magellano et I. Le Maire detectis novissima et accuratissima deswcriptio exhibetur."
