- The French-Russian map has no published transcription; its readings are model-generated and not specialist-reviewed.
Field notes
The viewer is described as opening map text from numbered pins, pairing engraved wording with modern English; the named examples include Ortelius’s 1570 sheet, Speed’s 1626 map, and a French copy of a lost Russian map of Siberia. The catalogue and images are copies from an earlier TARTARY Project site, with this page’s snapshot dated 29 October 2026. The page distinguishes its checking methods and says the readings have not yet received specialist review.
