Mathew Paris' 13th Century Map of U.K. is 1 of the real commencement geographical maps of Great Britain. However, despite beingness arguably the commencement modern map of Britain, it is soundless quite hard to navigate. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 lot of the actual geography is incorrect too the place-names tin dismiss hold upward hard to interpret into modern English.
I accept hence created an Annotated Matthew Paris Map of Britain. On my map yous tin dismiss only click on a place-name on the map to respect the equivalent modern English linguistic communication place-name. For event if yous click on 'Eboracum' on the map an information window volition opened upward informing yous that this is the metropolis nosotros know every bit 'York'.
I accept translated over 90% of the place-names on the map, soundless a few of the place-names accept me bamboozled. If yous accept whatever ideas nearly the names I accept failed to interpret too then delight experience costless to piece of occupation out a comment on this post.
My map is alone possible because of the Stanford Libraries. They accept created an IIIF manifest of Corpus Christi College's master copy manuscript of Matthew Paris' map. I accept hence been able to purpose Leaflet-IIIF, a uncomplicated to purpose plug-in for using IIIF manifests inwards Leaflet, to practice a Leaflet.js map from the IIIF manifest of Matthew Paris' map.
