摘要:In this short note it is put in evidence for the first time some important differences which existin apparently two versions of Rigas Velestinlis Charta, the known major 12 sheet map ofGreek Enlightenment published in Vienna in 1797.It is shown that the two versions of Rigas Charta present striking differences in seven mapsheets, namely in sheets No. 2, No. 3, No. 5, No. 6, No. 7, No.8 and No.9 in terms of existingand missing toponyms in the two map versions.The important finding was made possible thanks to modern digital technology as applied tothe study and analysis of historical maps and especially to the relevant technique of "digitaltransparency" which allows comparative studies of maps
