The Mughal Empire and all its dependent states, according to the accounts of the most trusted travellers. Recently made available to the public by Pierre van der Aa, a bookseller from Leiden.

Pieter (Pierre) van der Aa (1659-1733)
He was one of the most active mapmakers and chroniclers of exploration expeditions in the Netherlands, who was stationed in the university town of Leiden. He produced bootleg copies of illustrated books and international best-sellers. However, his extensive body of work is most recognized for his atlases and maps. Van der Aa was born into a family of German Holstein stonecutters. It's interesting to note that the three van der Aa sons eventually got into the printing industry. Boudewyn was a printer, while Hildebrand was a copper engraver.
