Marcel van den Broecke has transcribed and translated all the legends on the map, as follows ( Van den Broecke Ort 163):
The west coast of North America differs from his map of America in that the peninsula is broader, some different names appear, and others are lacking." At its southern entrance an enlarged Japan dominates, below which a note states that a large amount of the information in Asia eminates from the writings of Marco Polo. This increased the public awareness of the 1561 Giacomo Gastaldi theory of a strait between the continents of Asia and America. Its main feature is the 'STRETTO DI ANIAN'. This is a very early depiction of the northern Pacific. "Unlike his map of America, this derives its cartography from Ortelius' own large world map of 1564. The map combines the latest explorations by the Dutch (Vaigatz, Colgoyen), the Portuguese (China, Japan) and the Spanish California) with medieval knowledge (Marco Polo's Cathay, Zipangri, Falcon Island, Tangut, etc.) and with knowledge from classical antiquity (Pliny's Cape Tabin and Scythian Ocean). Many legends are spread around the map, referring to the whereabouts of the lost tribes of Israel (they have to be somewhere!), to Marco Polo, and to the classical geography texts of Strabo, Ptolemy and Pliny. In California are the seven legendary cities of Cibola (only six are marked), where the Indians claimed that gold was to be found in abundance, and that the streets and roofs were paved with it. China itself is on the map twice, once as Marco Polo's Cathay and once as the China that the Portuguese had visited by sea. The strait of Anian separates Asia and America, and a navigable North-Eastern passage is shown from Europe to Japan and China, complete with sailing ship. A superb map showing Tartaria, Cathay (China), Japan (closer to America than to Asia!), and California.
