If you cannot click on a highlighted link, right-click on it, and then click on 'Open Hyperlink'.

Sorting (on any of the columns):

Just click anywhere within this Microsoft Word 'Table', then use the 'Table' menu’s Sort option, leaving the “Header Row” button clicked (so that the header is not sorted too). For the best sort on the 'Date' field use the default 'Type' option, i.e. 'Text'.

Explanation about the columns:

• & in the first column means there is an individual entry for this on Notes on selected maps NB in October 2013 it was noticed that the links to the separate online notes may not work. If that happens you will have to go to that page and then find the relevant entry. My sincere apologies.

• Date. (F) indicates that the date is a misleading addition by the forger. The symbols * and ^ are there for sorting purposes and should be ignored.

• Medium of original. 'MS' means manuscript (hand-drawn). For notes on engraving, woodcut, etc. see Web articles and commentaries on specific topics in the History of Cartography - 4. Themes (under 'Printing methods)

• References. For full details see the Bibliography

• First Seen. It would be particularly valuable to learn of earlier dates

• Category. See How to tell a fake or forgery
