ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to examine the Jave la Grande in the map of the French Dieppe school in the 16th century. We have examined the contents of Jave la Grande and the change of representation according to the age. It was also compared with the expression of contemporary maps of other European countries. Studies have shown that the map of the Dieppe school was influenced by the Parmentier’s journal and Alfonso's cosmography. After the publication of Mercartor’s 1569 map and Ortelius’s 1570 map, its place name was identified as the land of Lucach and Beach. The fact that they recorded a lot of information about the Jave la Grande can be seen as a proposal to the King for a voyage to pioneer a new colony in the region.
