As far as we can trace, there are only two copies of this map known to exist: the one here in Ghent and another map, wich was part of the famous collection of Thomas Phillipps. This collection was offered for sale in 1950 and we have no record of what happened to the map. Can you help me any further in this matter? Thank you and best regards, Lucie Zabeau. **************************************************** * Lucie Zabeau * * * * Hoofd Kaarten en Prenten Head Maps and Prints * * Centrale Bibliotheek Central Library * * Universiteit Gent University Ghent * * Rozier 9 Rozier 9 * * B 9000 Gent B 9000 Ghent * * * * Tel : 09/264.38.60 * * Fax : 09/264.38.52 * * Email : [log in to unmask] * **************************************************** --- End Forwarded Message --- ________________________________________________________ Nick Millea Map Librarian, Bodleian Library, Broad Street, Oxford, OX1 3BG tel : 01865 277013 fax : 01865 277139 email : [log in to unmask] homepage: http://www.bodley.ox.ac.uk/guides/maps/ ________________________________________________________ %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
