GOA, c.1750


Bellin's plan of Goa, c.1750; CLICK ON  THE MAP FOR A VERY LARGE SCAN.


Bellin's "Map of the port of Goa and its surroundings," 1764; closer views of *the upper part* and *the lower part*




For comparison, to show the pervasiveness of the kind of borrowing that Bellin often did: here's a plan of Goa from 1719-- and 1654-- and 1596:



*"Goa Indiae Orientalis Metropolis," by Pieter Boudewyn van der Aa, 1719* (BL). This plan was reproduced from one by Jan Jansson, 1657: *overview*; *left half*; *right half*; *detail*; *key*. Another reproduction was published *by M. Merian, 1646* (*a detail*).  Both of these borrowed from an earlier work, the "Itinerario" (Amsterdam, 1596) by *Jan Huyghen van Linschoten*, who had secretly copied it from Portuguese maps.
