Description

This 1702 map by Johann Ulrich Muller shows a portion of East Africa, focusing on the region known as Abyssinia (present-day Ethiopia). The map provides information on various kingdoms within the region, their main cities, and geographical features. The text on the map can be translated as follows:

The Kingdom of Abyssinia is divided into:

The Kingdom of Barnagaffo, with the main city Barna, Dafila, Canfila, along with the island of Meroë.
The Kingdom of Tigremahou, with Tigremahou.
The Kingdom of Darata.
Fatigara and Dangali.
Xoa, Amara, with the main fortress Amara.
Bora and Bagamedri. And then
Damut and Narea.

The map presents an overview of the political and geographical landscape in East Africa at the time, with a focus on the various kingdoms and territories within Abyssinia. It offers a valuable historical perspective on the region during the early 18th century.
