Nicolosi, J.B. Continentem Dudum Notam Comporebat Joa Baptista Nicolosius. Paris 1660. Interesting and important Eastern Hemisphere map that includes Tasman's discoveries before they were widely publicized in the Dutch maritime atlases. It shows an accurate representation of the west coast of Arnhemland and of Van Diemen's Land. Interestingly, it retains a 2nd north coast of Australia, that of Marco Polo's "Beach." "Beach" has been modified to allow inclusion of discoveries made on Nuyt's voyage of 1627.
