Cosmas Indicopleustes (Greek , literally "Cosmas who sailed to India"; also known as Cosmas the Monk) was an Alexandrian merchant and later hermit.〔Beatrice Nicolini, Penelope-Jane Watson, ''Makran, Oman, and Zanzibar: Three-terminal Cultural Corridor in the Western Indian Ocean (1799–1856)'', 2004, BRILL, ISBN 90-04-13780-7.〕 He was a 6th-century traveller, who made several voyages to India during the reign of emperor Justinian. His work ''Christian Topography'' contained some of the earliest and most famous world maps.〔''Encyclopædia Britannica'', 2008, O.Ed, Cosmas Indicopleustes.〕 Cosmas was a pupil of the East Syrian Patriarch Aba I and was himself follower of the Church of the East. ==Voyage== Around 550 Cosmas wrote the once-copiously illustrated ''Christian Topography'', a work partly based on his personal experiences as a merchant on the Red Sea and Indian Ocean in the early 6th century. His description of India and Sri Lanka during the 6th century is invaluable to historians. Cosmas seems to have personally visited the Kingdom of Axum in modern Ethiopia, as well as Eritrea, India, and Sri Lanka.
