Early Mapping of Southeast Asia. Periplus. Southeast Asia has always occupied a special place in the imaginations of East and West. For the chinese, the islands of Southeast Asia lay in the 'southern ocean' while in India they were thought of as the 'lands below the wind'. In the West, Southeast Asia was identified with Paradise and the Garden of Eden.
It was also the supposed location of King Solomon's Ophir and Ptolomy's 'Golden Chersonese' - a place of stupendous riches and strange marvels, where spices grew and unicorns roamed the forest. This book recounts the fascinating story of how Southeast Asia was, quite literally, put on the map, both in cartographic terms and as a literary and imaginative concept. Hardcover.
