I have been intending to produce a "Key" to the "Map". This is because there appear to be standard ways that certain features of the page are illustrated.
Such as the following:
1) Areas covered by water are illustrated with blue and white wavy lines.
2) Rivers seem to be illustrated with curvy meandering lines often with dots.
3) Slopes appear to be illustrated with long hashed lines together often with what look like curvy undulating paths along them.
4) Large ocean/sea waves are illustrated in 2 places near the top right Rosette and 1 place near the bottom right Rosette.
5) There are 2 snow-covered mountains with water pouring from their summits. One of these mountains is near the top right Rosette and the other is near the bottom right Rosette. They both point inwards. I take them both to refer to the Alps.
6) What I take to represent "open countryside" such as fields is illustrated with lines containing dots. We can see these particularly on the top left to centre left causeway and bottom left to bottom centre causeway.
7) What I take to represent "rough country" is illustrated with a series of circles each containing a dot that can be seen on the bottom centre to bottom right causeway and the bottom right to centre right causeway.
The different stylist illustration of different regions/areas and features seems quite deliberate.
I hope to provide an illustrated version of this key.
Such a key again fits neatly with the idea that the page is a map. I don't believe that many of these details have really ever been discussed elsewhere.
