Desceliers' Map of Australia
Detail from the 1546 world map created by the French cartographer, Pierre Desceliers an eminent member of the Dieppe school of Cartography. It was based on numerous sources including travellers and mariners. The names Java la Grande and Java Petite, derived from Marco Polo, produced confusion in the 16th century. Gerardus Mercator and Portuguese cartographers applied the term Java Major to the island of Java whereas the Dieppe cartographers thought it was a vast landmass south of Java itself. According to Marco Polo, Java la Grande was the largest island in the world; his Java Petite was Sumatra. On his map, Desceliers inscribed this southern land mass (approximately in the position of Australia) as ”Terra Australis, recently discovered but not fully known”. The islands of the Molluques, (Moluccas) known as the Spice Islands, were a source of Portuguese-Dutch conflict.
