Dear all

We'd like to request your assistance for the first Content Workpackage
on Pelagios 3 which will deal with Early Latin Geospatial Documents
(NB: we'll do the same ahead of each CWP as the project progresses).

We have been compiling a list of candidates for annotation, and would
greatly appreciate any ideas you have for further ones, as well as any
additional digital content or translations related to them. In
particular, we are looking for:

- anything (originally) in Latin up to 1492 that describes the world
or parts of it. We suspect that the majority of these will be texts,
rather than images.

- any translations of these documents into other modern (or even
ancient) languages

- if at all possible, any URLs (web addresses) you know to digital
versions of the document. If you don't know of any (or you only know
of digital or paper-versions off line) - we'd still like to know of
their existence as they could be extremely helpful.

Below is a list of documents, digital versions and URLs we are
currently aware of.

Many thanks for all your help in advance!

Best wishes

Leif
