Summary

[edit]
Description
Français : Carte universelle de Ptolémée. Tome IV. Page 35. On a exprimé par des traits forts les extrémités des terres telles que Ptolomée les a connues et représentées. On a exprimé par des traits foibles les mêmes côtes comme nous les connoissons aujourd'huy. Ceilan par ex qui est l'ancienne Tabropane, est plus petite de beaucoup et se trouve raprochée de 300 lieues vers l'Occident. Le Pays des Serres ou la Chine qui finit au 140e. degré de Longitude s'avance 500 lieues de plus vers l'Orient dans Ptolomée et s'allonge encore dans l'autre Hemisphére.
English: "Ptolomy's World Map", a comparison of Ptolemy's geographical knowledge with that of 18th-century Europe, from volume IV of Noël Antoine Pluche's Spectacle de la Nature. The southern expanse of Africa is labelled "Imaginary Ethiopia".
