Hondius' 1608 map belongs to an earlier period is apparent when various aspects of the map, including names and the placement of coastlines, are compared with Willem Jansz (Blaeu)'s large Mercator map of 1607. It is suggested that publication ofBlaeu's 1607 map provided the incentive for Hondius to revise his 1598 copper plates, in 1608, and to re-issue his map, slightly altered, with additional decorative features and freshly engraved borders
