Coronelli's map titled "Parte Occidentale della China" is a significant cartographic work created in 1690. It is a map of the western part of China, showcasing the geographic features, cities, towns, and other relevant information of the region during that time period.

Vincenzo Coronelli, an Italian cartographer and cosmographer, was renowned for his cartographic skills and contributions during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. He was the founder of the Accademia Cosmografica degli Argonauti (Cosmographic Academy of the Argonauts) in Venice and served as the official geographer to the Republic of Venice.

Coronelli's map of the western part of China reflects the knowledge and understanding of the region during the late 17th century. It was created using the available sources and data of that time, which were often limited and incomplete compared to modern standards. The map likely combines information from various explorers, travelers, and existing maps to create a comprehensive representation of the region.

It's important to note that cartography during this era was influenced by the technological and scientific advancements of the time, but it was also subject to the limitations and biases of the available information. Therefore, while Coronelli's map provides valuable insights into the geography and understanding of western China in the late 17th century, it may not accurately represent the region as it appears today.

The map is a historical artifact that contributes to our knowledge of the past and the development of cartography. It can be studied for historical, cultural, and geographical purposes, offering a glimpse into the perceptions and knowledge of China during the 17th century.
