Dear Editor
Thank you for your fine internet publication. I greatly enjoyed your article on Richard Blome. I wonder if you have any additional information on the two maps in the History of the New Testament. Are they Blome's work or that of another mapmaker? Is this their first publication? Any information or source of information on these maps which you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Editor
I am wondering if you could possibly give any information on this map-maker.
I have recently come into possesion of a number of maps. One of which is
an un-coloured map of Europe with a small cartouche with these words:-
" Lumen Histoiarum per Occidentem. Fran. Haraet ex conatibus antuerpiae.
Have you any information that you can share on Fran. Haraet.

Dear Editor
I have undertaken a project to trace the early history of map dealers focused on American Maps prior to 1970. My understanding is that the four American dealers that focused on American maps were Ken Nebenzahl, Thomas MacDonald (Henry Stevens, Son and Stiles), Harry Shaw Newman (Old Print Shop), and B. Altman's (Rosejeane Slifer). They purchased the bulk of their material from RV Tooley at Francis Edwards. Prior to 1970, were there British and Dutch dealers that put out catalogues focused on the Western hemisphere? And if so, how might I be able to obtain copies of their catalogues? Mike Hirsch

Dear Editor
The Piri Reis Map is in Topkapi Palace, Istanbul; and not in the National Library, Ankara (letter to editor, issue 9). The Topkapi Palace gift shop was selling a reproduction of the map when IMCoS met in Istanbul last year. Perhaps it is still available. John W. Docktor
