摘要:In 1700, Chrysanthos Notaras, a prominent scholar of 18thc. Greek Enlightenment andlater patriarch of Jerusalem, issued a twin hemispherical world map, which was thefirst printed map in Greek language, printed in Padua. A similar map, in smaller dimensions, printed the same year also in Padua was inserted in Notaras' geographybook. In this paper, using digital processing and visualization techniques, we analyzeNotaras' world map in comparison with Jan Luyts' World map of the same typology,printed in Utrecht in 1692, which was also inserted in a geography book. The similarities and the differences in the coastline and the toponyms are investigated and evaluated, concluding to the identification of the sources and the maps that Notaras used forthe construction of his two 1700 maps
