TERRES AUSTRALES.

The third State of the Second Printed Map to Show Gonneville’s Land.
A fine early map of the Dutch Discoveries in the New Holland, and the Indian Ocean, published in Paris by Pierre Du Val, the second printed map to reference the discoveries of the mythical French explorer Gonneville in 1504.

Nearly 130° of the northern coast of this Southern Continent are confidently placed on Du Val’s map. In the east, Du Val writes that “some [authorities] place here the Kingdoms of Psitac, Beach, Lucac, and Maletur.”
The latter three are place names derived from Marco Polo’s travels and were frequently placed on the southern continent by mapmakers, especially those following Mercator’s example. South and west of the Cape of Good Hope is Terre de Perroquets.
Interestingly, this is a repetition of the place name, Psitac, which is an abbreviated form of Psitacorum, "of parrots."

The present example is the third state, with earlier states issued in 1677 and 1679.
