Java La Grande - The Story of the Portuguese Discovery of Australia Circa 1521

Fitzgerald, Lawrence
1986. The Publishers Pty Ltd , Hobart, Australia

This is the story of an enigma which has been unresolved for over four centuries. Maps done in the French School of Navigation in Dieppe circa 1536-1550 portrayed a vast landmass south of Indonesia that many have associated with the Australian continent while others have questioned that concept. The expert cartographer analyses all the evidence and makes a convincing argument in favour of the Portuguese presence. Illustrated in detail with black and white drawings and maps throughout.
