Morden\", from Morden's Geography Rectified in its enlarged fourth edition of 1700. From the mouth of the Amazon on the Equator down to Rio de Janeiro and the island of S. Sebastian, Morden names the Portuguese captaincies and ports — Pará, Maranhão, Pernambuco with Olinda, Bahia de Todos os Santos, Ilhéos, Porto Seguro and Espírito Santo — with the Tapuya, Aymuré and Tupinambá peoples inland and a scrolled title cartouche. Below, Morden's text tells how \"the Country of the Holy Cross\" was discovered in 1501 and how Portugal and Spain each read the 1493 line of demarcation to their own advantage. An attractive piece of early Brazil cartography.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54231580049755,"sku":"P-6-112378","price":180.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-112378a.jpg?v=1790884689"},{"product_id":"the-maldives-and-ceylon-ilands-sri-lanka-south-india-robert-morden-1700-map-p-6-112379","title":"The Maldives and Ceylon Ilands —Sri Lanka \u0026 South India — Robert Morden 1700 map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThe Maldives and Ceylon Ilands by Robt.
