*Northern

*Europe*
*Africa*

*Other maps and views*
~~~~~~~~~~~
for comparison: maps and views from
*the
Nuremberg Chronicle (1493)*
*Munster's Cosmographia
(1544)*
*Mallet's Description
de l'Univers (1683)*
~~~~~~~~~~~
NOTE: All the views, and most of the maps, come
from Prévost's giant work and were executed mostly by Bellin. Some
of the maps were done by Bellin for publication elsewhere. Thus everything
here is from the work of one of these two contemporaries, and most things
are their joint creations. Unless otherwise noted, all these maps and views
come either from my own collection or from ebay auctions by: *the
honor roll of map sources*
