I want to know the answer to the following question:
What was only an English translation of Latin Oriens and Orientalis, "the land of the rising sun"?
All the background I'm provided with is that "By the time of John Seller's Atlas Maritima of 1670, "India Beyond the Ganges" had become "the East Indies" including China, Korea, southeast Asia and the islands of the Pacific in a map that was every bit as distorted as Ptolemy's, despite the lapse of approximately 1500 years.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
