Dear Bill Thoen,
A concise definition, followed by a historical essay on
details of the term's innovation and diffusion, and ending with a
bibliography, for both 'Compass direction' and for 'Windrose' can be
discovered in:-
Cartographical innovations: an international handbook of mapping terms
to 1900 / ed. by Helen M. Wallis and Arthur H. Robinson. - Tring,
Herts: Map Collector Publications in association with International
Cartographic Association, 1987. - ISBN 0-906430-04-6.
Doubtless, a work on history of navigation would be just as useful (or
preferable)?
Yours sincerely
Francis Herbert
Curator of Maps
