EDITORS COMMENTS
Fra Mauro Map: A Glimpse into the 15th Century's Understanding of Southeast Asia and the Island of Borneo This exquisite detail is taken from the Fra Mauro map, a remarkable cartographic masterpiece created by the Venetian friar and cartographer, Fra Mauro, in 1459. The map, housed in the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana (St. Mark's Library) in Venice, Italy, is a testament to the remarkable progress made in cartography during the Renaissance period. The image showcases a section of Southeast Asia, with the island of Borneo prominently displayed. The map is oriented with the south at the top, a departure from the more common northern hemisphere orientation of maps during this time. This unique orientation may reflect Fra Mauro's access to Eastern sources and his efforts to create a more accurate representation of the region. The map is a miniature painting, meticulously crafted with intricate details and vibrant colors. The depiction of Borneo is particularly noteworthy, as it is one of the most detailed and accurate representations of the island from this era. The map also includes other features of the region, such as the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Java, and the Philippines. The Fra Mauro map is considered a significant milestone in the history of cartography, as it represents a substantial improvement over earlier maps in terms of accuracy and detail. Its creation reflects the growing European interest in exploration and the expanding knowledge of the world during the Renaissance period. Today, the map remains an invaluable resource for historians, cartographers, and anyone interested in the history of exploration and the development of cartography.
