Hello everyone - I was talking with Tina Ross today about the latest map - 14th century Africa, which is going really well. We also figured out that the next two maps she will be doing are the city of London in the 14th century, and the Eastern Mediterrrean in the 12th century. After that we are going to be doing another poll of our patrons for the map that will go out in December. I'd love to get your suggestions on what that map should be!

I would like to see the Vercelli Map (c. 1217) featured, particularly the version of it created by the Lazarus Project, a multi-spectral imaging initiative, which reveals details unseen for ages. Asa Simon Mittman wrote about the history of the map and new scholarly possibilities, post-scanning, in A Critical Companion to English Mappae Mundi of the Twelfth and Thirteenth Centuries, which I and Nick Millea edited and which was published last November.

How about a map of Oceania including Polynesian, Melanesian and Micronesian settlements in the Pacific in the 14th - 15th centuries.
