"Accuratissima Totius Asiae Tabula Recens Emendata" is a Latin title that translates to "A Most Accurate Recently Corrected Map of the Whole of Asia." It is a map created by Frederick de Wit, a prominent Dutch cartographer who lived from 1630 to 1706. De Wit was known for producing high-quality and beautifully detailed maps during the Dutch Golden Age.

The map "Accuratissima Totius Asiae Tabula Recens Emendata" was published in 1688 and represents a significant cartographic achievement for its time. It provided a comprehensive view of the Asian continent, encompassing various regions, countries, cities, rivers, mountains, and other geographical features.

In the 17th century, cartography was a highly sought-after skill, and maps like those by De Wit were in demand among traders, explorers, and scholars. De Wit's maps were renowned for their accuracy and artistic elegance, often adorned with decorative elements such as elaborate title cartouches, compass roses, and illustrations.

Frederick de Wit (also spelled Frederik de Wit) was a renowned Dutch cartographer and publisher who lived during the 17th century. He was born in 1630 in Gouda, Netherlands, and died in 1706 in Amsterdam. De Wit was a prominent figure in the Dutch Golden Age of cartography, a period when the Netherlands played a leading role in mapmaking and exploration.

De Wit's career as a cartographer began around the mid-17th century, and he quickly gained a reputation for his high-quality maps, atlases, and sea charts. He ran a successful mapmaking and publishing business in Amsterdam, which was a hub of commerce and knowledge during that time. De Wit's maps were highly sought after by traders, explorers, and scholars, as they were known for their accuracy and decorative flair.

After Frederick de Wit's death in 1706, his business and cartographic legacy were continued by his heirs. Though the cartographer's work was highly regarded during his lifetime, it gained even more recognition in later centuries as collectors and scholars appreciated the historical and artistic value of his maps.
