Date of Taprobana's identification as Sumatra

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The article states that Sebastian Munster created confusion about the identity of Taprobana by identifying it as Sumatra in 1580. This is not the case. I own a replica of Gerardus Mercator's 1541 globe and he too names Sumatra as Taprobana. 207.89.61.17 (talk) 20:56, 3 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
