-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Atlas Maior of 1665, and derivatives/sub-sets? Date: Thu, 01 Feb 2007 14:31:20 -0600 From: Chieko Maene <[log in to unmask]> To: Maps, Air Photo & Geospatial Systems Forum <[log in to unmask]> Hi, Our collection development dept asked me if we would like to acquire the following items selected by our approval plan (notification slip dated 1/03/07). - Germania, Austria & Helvetia (Atlas Maior series) - Gallia: France (Atlas Maior series) - Anglia, Scotia & Hibernia (Atlas Maior series) - Belgica Regia & Belgica Foederata (Atlas Maior series) - Hipania, Portugallia, Africa & America (Atlas Maior series) - Italia (Atlas Maior series) It looks to me that these atlases were derived from "Atlas Maior of 1665" (a huge & beautiful atlas) which we acquired last year. If all maps are already available from the original (Atlas Maior of 1665), I think we don't need to acquire the items above. But, I am not sure. I would greatly appreciate it if anybody from the map world could tell me the difference between "Atlas Maior of 1665" and the sub-sets above.. Thank you so much for the help in advance!
