[KS] Old Korean maps of Europe?

[Baker Don]

Gari Ledyard might be able to correct me on this, but I believe that the 
earliest maps in Korea with any indication of Europe on them would be the 
Jesuit maps Korean envoys brought back from China in the early 17th 
century. (The map in the Christian History Museum at Sungsil University is 
one such map.)
