Abstract

ABSTRACT This article provides a detailed description and analysis of the map of Britain in British Library, MS Harley 1808, in its manuscript context and in comparison with the Gough map of Britain. It is argued that the map in MS Harley 1808, which can be dated to between 1422 and c.1450, was almost certainly copied in York. Detailed consideration of it in its manuscript context shows that it could be read as a support to the narrative of British history which traced the lineage of English kings back to the legendary founder of the kingdom, Brutus. Concluding remarks consider the implications of that reading for the Gough map. An appendix lists toponyms on the map of Britain in MS Harley 1808 and compares them with their equivalents on the Gough map.

大英图书馆的英国地图，哈雷1808年

摘要本文对大英图书馆1808年的英国地图进行了详细的描述和分析，并与英国高夫地图进行了比较。有人认为，哈雷1808年的地图可以追溯到1422年至1450年左右，几乎可以肯定是在约克复制的。在其手稿背景下对其进行的详细研究表明，它可以被解读为对英国历史叙事的支持，英国历史叙事将英国国王的血统追溯到传说中的王国创始人布鲁图斯。结束语考虑了这一解读对高夫地图的影响。附录列出了1808年哈雷女士英国地图上的地名，并将其与高夫地图上的对应地名进行了比较。
