----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Fellow map catalogers: I'm modifying an OCLC record for our local system concerning a 1759 map of Virginia, Maryland and Carolina by Johann Baptist Homann. All text is in Latin, but the map was published in Germany and the scale is in German miles ("Milliaria Germanica"). This is the first map I've run across to specify German miles. Can anyone help me with conversion to a representative fraction or suggest a source? Any help is most appreciated!
