Dear All, Cross-posted to various listservs and the Friends of TOSCA. Here are details of the forthcoming Gough Map exhibit to be held at the Bodleian. Please forward any queries to Nick Millea (contact details below). We are pleased to announce that an exhibition of the late medieval Gough Map of Great Britain will take place in the Proscholium, Bodleian Library, Oxford, between 14 May - 26 June 2011. The exhibition - "Linguistic geographies: three centuries of language, script and cartography in the Gough Map of Great Britain" - will be a rare public display of the map along with a copy of Richard Gough's 'British Topography' and its engraving of the map that gained his name. These two key documents of English cartographic history will provide visitors with a valuable opportunity to see close-up the fine details of the Gough map, and in particular the writing that appears on it. The map's script is a key to understanding its making and use, and the exhibition will offer new interpretations based upon the on-going "Linguistic Geographies" research project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. The exhibition is organised by the Linguistic Geographies project team, with particular inputs from Nick Millea and Elizabeth Solopova. The team wish to thank the Bodleian Library for its support of this exhibition, as well as the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
