Hello, all:

I have a patron who is interested in the longstanding debate in the
Middle East as to what to call the gulf between Iran and the Arabian
Peninsula; you're probably familiar with it.  He'd like to find examples
of early maps (including non-Western) that portray and name the water
body.  I haven't found any non-Western maps in my historical atlases,
nor at David Rumsey's site.  Does anyone know of any good examples, esp.
Middle-East produced?  The earlier the better...

Thanks...
