There's still more stuff in Pearson to include and link from and to here.
Pearson is pretty exhaustive but (a)relies on translations that are apparently somewhat off on the actual orthography of the originals and (b)it's obviously better to bring in some more secondary sources. (c)It would be better to use 1st editions for the other sources instead of the current reprints or citations through Pearson, except in the case of Garcia de Orta where the count's discussion in his editorial notes are the important bit. (d)Down the line, this should probably be mentioned in relevant articles like Cartography of Asia, the various explorers and cartographers involved, and at least some of the articles on European exploration, geography, and cartography in the area. (e)Similarly the category at Wikicommons should be fleshed out to link the relevant maps where they're already on the database.
It also seems odd that there's no article or categories for things like this. It isn't a myth like Asgard. It isn't fictious like Hogwarts. It's just cryptogeography. Surely there are tons of islands and at least a few other lakes like this.—LlywelynII15:37, 11 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
Interesting observation on that last bit. There's Phantom island which covers islands specifically, but it doesn't seem to be a more broadly studied concept. Cartographical myth is used by one rather obscure book, but not elsewhere. The preferred library subject heading appears to be geographical myth. That could be the basis for a category, but I'm not seeing much material that could be used to write a quick article. --Paul_012 (talk) 00:48, 13 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
