Brenan:

We hold the reference work cited.  The west coast of Greece is clearly
shown but the placenames are so small that they are unreadable, even
with a failrly powerful magnifier.

An image will arrive in via e-mail shortly,

Following up on my just-posted request for reproductions of a particular
porolan (Viladestes (1413)), the reproduction in v.XII , p145 (plate 73) of
"Geschichte des arabischen Schrifttums" is not clear enough, particularly
on the Greek coast, which the patron is analysing.

There appears to be at least one other reproduction:

Karte 12 of "Portulane. Seekarten vom 13. bis zum 17. Jahrhundert" by
Michel Mollat du Jourdin, Monique de LaRoncière
292pages, published Fribourg-München, 1984, ISBN: 3777437107

Does anyone have this, and if so, can they se if the western Greek coast is
shown relatively clearly to be worth trying to copy?
