Jodocus Hondius (also known as Jodocus Hondius the Elder) was a renowned Flemish cartographer and engraver who lived during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. He was born in 1563 in Wakken, Flanders (now part of Belgium) and passed away in 1612 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Hondius was one of the prominent mapmakers of his time and is particularly famous for his world maps and atlases.

One of his notable works is the 1628 map of Asia. This map, like many of Hondius' maps, was based on the latest geographical knowledge available during his time. It would have been a highly valuable and accurate representation of Asia at that period in history.

The 1628 Jodocus Hondius map of Asia would have shown the various regions, countries, cities, rivers, and mountain ranges of the Asian continent as they were understood at that time. It might have included information gathered from the accounts of explorers, traders, and missionaries who had traveled to and within Asia.
