Arabia and India, from the Miller Atlas, c.1519" is a historic map created by Portuguese cartographer Pedro Reinel during the turn of the sixteenth century. This map is part of Pedro Reinel's famed creation, the Miller Atlas, named after the Portuguese diplomat and bibliophile Emmanuel Miller who owned it during the mid-19th century.

The specific map of "Arabia and India" stands out for its intuitive mix of recorded geographical information and speculative representations during a time when global exploration was in a nascent stage. It exemplifies the early cartographers' struggle to reconcile second-hand accounts, scientific measurements, and their own interpretations.

Pedro Reinel, the creator of this map, was a leading figure in Portuguese nautical cartography's golden age. He pioneered the production of nautical charts without a Mediterranean origin, reflecting Portugal's maritime explorations in the Atlantic Ocean.

The unique feature of the map is its detailed depiction of the Arabian peninsula and the Indian subcontinent based on the knowledge that Portuguese explorers gathered. One can notice the cities marked along the coasts, reflecting the trading links and navigational interest of the Portuguese during this period. Arabian cities like Aden and Muscat, and Indian areas such as Kerala and Gujarat, are highlighted.

Reinel's attention to detail, the caliber of his work, and the historical relevance of his maps would eventually earn him a place as a Royal Cartographer in the services of King Manuel I of Portugal. "Arabia and India, from the Miller Atlas, c.1519" stands as testament to his skill - a snapshot of exploratory history and imaginative cartography during the dawn of global expansion. The Miller Atlas, including this specific map, is now held at the French National Library.
