APPENDIX III

1613 MERCATOR, ED. IUDOCI HONDIJ, AMSTERDAM.

1620 ANOTHER EDITION OF PORCACCHI DA CASTIGLEONE

Yucatan shown as a peninsula.

1635 WILLEM JANSZOON BLAEU, AMSTERDAM (E. L. S.).

Yucatan shown as a peninsula.

1638 ANOTHER EDITION OF MERCATOR.

1656 MEXIQUE OU NOUVELLE ESPAGNE, PAR M. SANSON D'ABBEVILLE, PARIS.

Shows Merida and Valladolid with the YZUES between them, and with the COCOMES between Valladolid and L. Bacalar. Southern portions of Yucatan very poorly shown.

1667 BLAAUW, AMSTERDAM, YUCATAN AND GUATIMALA.

A very good map for the time. It shows accurately what were then thought to be the facts. Merida, Conil, Chuaca, Valladolid, Campeche, Bacalar, and Chetumal all nearly correctly placed. Just south of Merida are the YZAES and just south of them the COCOMES. The isthmus is too elongated and runs too much east and west. The Zoques given.

1671 ARNOLDUS MONTANUS, AMSTERDAM

A shameless “steal” from the preceding. (Montanus may, however, make acknowledgement in his text.) Practically identical with Blaauw, 1667.

1689 EDWARD WELLES, LONDON.

Has Merida, Valladolid, Campeachy, and Vera Pax. Also Guatimala.

1694 JAILLOT'S MAP IN ALLARD'S ATLAS MINOR.

Has Merida, Valladolid, Campeche, Chetumal, Salamanca, Vera Pax, etc.

ca. 1697 AVENDAÑO'S MAP. (See Plates Ia and Ib.)

Shows Lake Peten.

1702 ATLAS MARITIMUS NOVUS, LONDON.

Has coasts only. Fairly correct.

1714 or just before POPPLE, LONDON.

Has Merida and LAKE PETEN rightly placed.

1720 MATTEO SEUTTER, ATLAS NOVUS, AUGSBURG.

Very poor. Gives few names. Southern portion of Yucatan much too narrow. No lake.

1722 “PLANO DE PARTE DE LA COSTA DE YUCATHAN... LA QUE VISITÓ SU GOBERNADOR Y CAPITAN GENERAL D. ANTONIO CORTAYRE, AÑO 1721. TORRES LANZAS, i. 88.

Coast with Merida in south, Cacalchen Tilam in east, Sisal in west; shows possible defense of the roads. Drawn with care as to the details; colored; trees near coast.

1728 ATLAS MARITIMUS ET COMMERCIALIS, LONDON.

Has “Jucatan” and Campeche, but not much else.
