6564 François Valentijn (1666–1727) – Map of Manila Bay (Baye de Manile) – Engraved Map (1726)
This detailed engraved map, titled "CARTE DE LA BAYE DE MANILE Dans l'Isle de Luçon." (Map of Manila Bay on the Island of Luzon.), was produced by François Valentijn. Originating from his monumental work, "Oud en Nieuw Oost-Indiën" (Old and New East-India), published between 1724 and 1726, this map meticulously illustrates the strategic Manila Bay on Luzon Island in the Philippines. It features precise coastal outlines, islands, the City of Manila, and numerous depth soundings, reflecting the advanced hydrographic knowledge of the early 18th century.
François Valentijn (1666–1727) was a Dutch minister, naturalist, and prolific author whose extensive travels and research in the Dutch East Indies formed the basis of his encyclopedic publication. His multi-volume "Oud en Nieuw Oost-Indiën" is celebrated for its comprehensive accounts of the history, geography, ethnography, and natural history of the region. Richly illustrated with numerous maps and views, Valentijn's work remains an indispensable primary source for the study of the Dutch colonial empire and Asian trade during the early 18th century.
