Sylvia Ioannou Charitable Foundation

is publishing a new series Searching Cyprus Insula, which deals with the identification of historical maps.

Narrated by: Leonora Navari

Script edited by: Artemis Scutari, Dora Mitsonia

Video edited by: Lefteris Kelaiditis

Necessary tool in this endeavour is 'Cyprus the Book of Maps', a three-volume annotated catalogue designed to record every printed map of Cyprus within a span of 400 years, from ca 1485 to 1885.

Along with the image and the technical features of each map, the user can find information on the map’s occurrence and/or reoccurrence in various editions, repositories that hold copies of the map and facts regarding its maker(s) and the context of its production, as well as connections with cartographic prototypes and derivatives.

You can see the series on Youtube.
