present The Mapping of Africa by Richard and Penelope Betz, volume 7 in the
Utrechtse Historisch-Cartografische Studies. The Mapping of Africa
systematically categorizes and provides an overview of all printed maps
showing the entire African continent published from 1508 to 1700. The
author has undertaken a review of the literature, conducted an exhaustive
investigation in many major libraries and private collections, analyzed
these findings, and then compiled information on 174 distinctly separate
maps of the African continent.  The introduction contains information about
the mapping of Africa before 1508, important world maps which include
Africa, and a presentation of the major cartographic models developed for
this book.
