Dear Mr. (Mrs.?) "as1510183",
it is a matter of politeness to sign message and it is matter of competence to 
give sound reply to questions posed by Maphists. You may clearly explain to the 
whole list If and where Dr. Angelo Cattaneo failed. We all are here to learn 
more and to use the other's competence to improve our understanding on maps.

I am very eager to read a serious reply of yours on the question posed by Dr. 
Cattaneo, even with a lough but . . . please, express your point of view in 
such a way as to allow easy and accurate interpretation to all of us.

Dear list members,

I really would like NOT to read again a message like this one.

As I do know both the author, Mr. Pinheiro Marques, who forgot to add his 
signature to the message, and Dr. Cattaneo, and the message is erroneous, it is 
better to clarify that:

a) Dr. Cattaneo got his PhD in the European Institute in Florence, Italy, and a 
book based on the thesis was just published by Brepols (col. Terrarum Orbis).  

b) it is my surprise to understand that we, in Portugal, have such a thing as 
"the Portuguese historian of Cartography"... I thought we have several ones, 
for instance the contributors for the III (and IV) volume(s) of 
Harley-Woodard's History of Cartography.

This scholar Angelo Cattaneo is wonderful, and he is famous in Maphist for his

he had an intervention, many years ago...).

The Portuguese (with their lots of public money...) invented him... gave him

substitute of the Portuguese historian of Cartography, Alfredo Pinheiro Marques 
(against whom the censorship continues... silenced and persecuted in his own 
country, for so many years now...), but until today -- for so many years 
now...! -- this excellent scholar, this true expert of Portuguese things, this 
Italian Mr. Angelo Cattaneo, is not yet able to understand the meaning of the 
most obvious things in Portuguese language...

Now he does not understand (and he asks Maphist for...) the meaning of the 
Portuguese expression "mapamundo em vidro grande" referring to the map that the 
Jesuits were sending in 1554 to the Japanese daimyo of Bungo (Oita)... He 
thinks that it was a map MADE OF glass...

Very funny... Portuguese (Italian) scholarship...
