The plan of Goa by Jan Jansson, 1657 key

"Goa Indiae Orientalis Metropolis," by Pieter Boudewyn van der Aa, 1719* (BL). This plan was reproduced from one by Jan Jansson, 1657: *overview*; *left half*; *right half*; *detail*; *key*. Another reproduction was published *by M. Merian, 1646* (*a detail*; *key*). Both of these borrowed from an earlier work, the "Itinerario" (Amsterdam, 1596) by *Jan Huyghen van Linschoten*, who had secretly copied it from Portuguese maps.
