Description: 17th-century map of the Kingdom of Congo. This map was published as an inset labelled Congi regni in Africa Christiani nova descriptio. alongside a larger map Abissinorum sive Pretiosi Joannis imperium. It was published as an update to Mercator's Atlas sive cosmographicae meditationes de fabrica mundi et fabricati figura of 1595 (in spite of the filename, this is not a map made by Mercator himself!).
