Translation and edition. The additional documents, in translation, comprise a letter by Antoine Malfante, 1447, an account of the voyages of Diogo Gomes, c. 1456, and extracts from João de Barros, Decadas de Asia.

A New Historical Geography of England
The association between geography and the history of medicine may not be immediately obvious, but the late Sir Dudley Stamp in his Heath Clark Lectures of 1962, amongst others, has given ample evidence for their connexions.This excellent treatise is therefore of relevance to all medical historians.It consists of twelve substantial essays by ten eminent geographers, which are arranged chrono- logically and deal with the changing face of England fr…

Die Lage in Deutschland im Sommer des Jahres 1945 nach dem Ende der Kampfhandlungen des Zweiten Weltkrieges in Europa ist oft als „Stunde Null“ bezeichnet worden. Aber mit den Jahren ist verblast, was man sich darunter vorzustellen hatte. Die Stadt Braunschweig, Sitz des schon 1838 in Leipzig gegrundeten Verlages Georg Westermann, war durch Luftangriffe ubel zugerichtet und stand nun unter britischem Besatzungsregime. Auch die Verlagsgebaude mit …

The Vinland Map and the Tartar Relation
The Vinland Map, dated to about A.D. 1440-at least fifty years before Columbus landed in the Americas-is a unique map of the world that shows an outline of the northeast American coast and a legend describing its discovery in about 1000 by Leif Eiriksson, the Norseman from Greenland. The map was published by Yale University Press in 1965 and generated an enormous amount of debate. Chemical analysis of the ink later suggested the map might be a fo…

INTRODUCTION:much more accurate measurement of a number of short lines, or bases.Similarly, instead of determining direction by observing the position of a shadow at midday, or of a constellation in the night sky, or even of a steady wind, use was made of terrestrial magnetism through the magnetic compass, and instruments were evolved which enabled horizontal angles to be measured with great accuracy.Meanwhile the astronomers showed that the eart…
New Light on the Hereford Map
The mappa mundi in Hereford Cathedral has periodically attracted the attention of scholars since the occasion, 135 years ago, when it was discussed at the first meeting of the Royal Geographical Society. It has always been recognized that as a work of art embodying many aspects of religious and secular life in the Middle Ages it is of great interest and value. Its true worth as a cartographic monument, however, has only gained recognition gradual…

For years no progress was made, since the task was clearly beyond the resources of any geographical society or publishing house. Realizing that only with the backing of Government mappin…

The Alleged Pre-Columbian Discovery of America
SENHOR JAIME CORTESAO'S article in the January Journal on the discovery of America is based upon four main arguments, which may be summarized thus: (i) it was easier for the Portuguese of the fifteenth century to make trans-oceanic voyages than to coast along the shores of West Africa; (2) Portuguese official policy was to suppress all records of geographical discoveries in order to prevent them becoming generally known; (3) there is sufficient e…

The Origin of the Name Antillia
THE island of Antillia which appears upon charts of the fifteenth century has been the subject of much speculation and interest to writers upon the history of exploration. The island is generally shown in rectangular form in the western sea, approximately in the latitude of Lisbon. Some writers have deduced from its position that it represents a pre-Columbian know? ledge of the American continent. The meaning and derivation of the word have also …

Inland Waterways of Germany
SINCE the State took over the control of the German inland waterways in 1921, much attention has been given to their improvement; schemes which had been projected for years have recently been completed, and others are in course of realization. This activity is an acceleration of a policy which has been pursued with a varying degree of intensity since the foundation of the first empire in 1871. Transport of goods by river however had played an imp…

Articles on various aspects of German self-sufficiency have appear ed recently in severalperiodicals. In this note an attempt is made to summarize the whole posi? tion of German economic supplies. The sources used are 'International yearbook of agriculturalstatistics, 1938-39,' Rome, 1939; 'International trade in certain raw materials and foodstuffs, 1938,' Economic Intelligence Service, Geneva, 1939; 'The mineral industry of the British Empire a…

The Site and Growth of Paris
IT is impossible now to estimate the ultimate effect of enemy occupation on the future of Paris. The history of the city, to a greater degree perhaps than that of any other capital, has been closely identified with that of France; the mere temporary isolation of a portion of the country, apart from changes imposed by transient re-orientation of economic activity, must affect its development. The final result may be a measure of that industrial an…
Notes on Agriculture in the Low Countries
a modicum of instruction in such handiwork has to be given at present, though as the geographer who wishes to pursue the physical side becomes more common there will be less need for such elementary workshop teaching. These, after all, are but incidental difficulties; the fundamental requirement is adequate support from the educational world as a whole and university treasuries in particular. The latter will but slowly be converted to the view th…

Notes on the Rhine Distributaries and Land Reclamation in the Netherlands
THE waters of the Rhine now reach the sea through three distributaries of varying importance, the Geldersche Ijssel, the Neder Rijn, and the Waal. Of the volume of the undivided Rhine above Lobith, approximately one-ninth flows down the Ijssel to the Ijsselmeer (formerly the Zuider Zee), two-ninths down the Neder Rijn, and two-thirds down the Waal. As evidence of the changing history of the hydrographic system, the two latter distributaries bear …
The Lesina Portolan Chart of the Caspian Sea
IN 1913 I had as a keen student of early printed books joined the enter? prise of the General Catalogue of Incunabula which was then being initiated by Professor Konrad Haebler. The plan was to register all known books printed before 1500, and the scheme was conceived on an international scale, most European governments having promised their collaboration. The work was well under way in Germany and France, and the Austrian govern? ment, having fo…

It is briefly described by Mr. Henry Yates Thompson in his 'Descriptive catalogue of the second series of fifty manuscripts . . .,' Cambridge, 1902. Before discussing it in detail, it may be useful'to in…
