[edit] Summary

Description

Tracing of the 'Cotton' Anglo-Saxon world map (British Library; Cotton MSS, Tib. B. V, folio 56.; date probably about AD 1000) as published ca. 1836 with printed place-names. Ceylon ("Taprobanea") is at top, Britain at lower left. Green and red colours have been added by me to indicate similarly coloured areas (representing mountains and the waters of Africa respectively) on the original map. Please note that accuracy of the tracing and caption transcripts is not guaranteed.
