Much on this map is guessing, almost nothing based on knowledge Cathay is the name Marco Polo used for China The Philippines' description is: Archipelagus 7448 insularii Siberia is India superior India itself looks like a small appendix to a huge land mass The map shows Russia, part of Arabia and Ethiopia and North Norway in the West and does not quite reach over to Kamechatka in the East.
