Dear Judith (hi!),
Following the idea from Joost (hi, also!), it could be helpful to fax
the images to an 'expert geometre' - Dr Jan de Graeve - in
Brussel/Bruxelles/Brussels. He has probably the largest and best private
library of the history of geodesy/surveying presently known. The Bad
News: he doesn't have email; but I can give you his fax and 'phone
numbers privately, if you wish to follow up.
Awaiting you commands,
Francis

Dear Judith
My first impression is that this page comes from an Italian edition of a
publication by Gemma Frisius.
I have seen many editions of Gemma Frisius when I used to work at the
University Library in Leuven. These diagrams look very familiar.
I would suggest to check for Italians editions in:
Fernand van Ortroy, Bio-bibliographie de Gemma Frisius: fondateur de
l'Ecole belge de géographie, de son fils Corneille et de ses neveux les
Arsenius. Bruxelles, 1920.
Unfortunately, I don't have it available here at the archives.
Best regards
Joost

Dear Angie,
Would you be able to send out an inquiry to MAPS-L for me, as follows?
Can anyone help identify these cosmographic diagrams, which appear on
the recto and verso of (part of ) the same sheet of paper? They have
been trimmed from a larger page, and measure 190 x 170 mm. The text on
the verso is in Italian, and thought to be 16th century.
Thanks for any help,
Judith.
