The map in question is _The World_ by Peter Apian as it appeared in _Cosmographia_. I'm guessing it is so far out of copyright and in the public domain, but the patron needs an second opinion. Thank you in advance, John M. Anderson Map Librarian and Director Cartographic Information Center Department of Geography & Anthropology LSU Baton Rouge, LA 70803 --- End Forwarded Message ---
