Globe 71, the journal of the Australian and New Zealand Map Society
(ANZMapS)has just been released.
The editor is proud to announce that this issue is 30% larger than
normal, and is devoted entirely to one article by Dutch rare-map dealer
Dr. Frederik Muller:
"Tabula Moderna Alterius Hemisphaerii: the oldest surviving map of the
Pacific?"
Muller, who gave the keynote address at the society's 2011 conference in
Sydney, conducts a chemical, physical, paleographic and toponymic
analysis of a unique manuscript map of the Pacific Ocean purchased in
South America in 2009. He concludes that the map is by Laurentius Fries,
and was drafted for inclusion in Fries' 1525 Strasbourg Ptolemy atlas,
but for some reason was never actually included in that publication.
The issue includes an A2 95%-size doublesided facsimile of the map as a
loose insert.

Membership of ANZMapS is available to individuals or institutions for
$50 per year, and includes all issues of the Globe published that year.
