Note 163 — Chapter I · THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE ANCIENT WORLD

Reading edition

A useful general history of ancient cartography (i. e. of the Egyptians, Hebrews, Babylonians, Assyrians, and Greeks), though sometimes misleading in details, is Cebrian, Geschichte der Kartographie, 1923. This includes an appendix by Joseph Fischer, Ptolemaios als Kartograph, pp. 113–129. See also Kubitschek’s important article “Karten” in Paulys Real-Encyclopädie, 1919.
