-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Persian vs. Arabian Gulf: early maps? Date: Thu, 14 Dec 2006 16:47:10 -0700 From: Ken Rockwell <[log in to unmask]> To: Maps, Air Photo & Geospatial Systems Forum <[log in to unmask]> 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... --Ken Rockwell Univ. of Utah
