Selden map

The Selden Map, held by the Bodleian Library at Oxford University since the 1660s, is one of the oldest known East Asian maps of navigational routes across the East and South China Seas. It is estimated to have been produced c. 1572-1620, and has been attributed to maritime merchant Li Dan.
