This volume is the third part of a 3-volume annotated catalogue designed to record every printed map of Cyprus within a span of 400 years, from ca 1485 to 1885. Along with the image and the technical features of each map, the user can find information on the map’s occurrence and/or reoccurrence in various editions, repositories that hold copies of the map and facts regarding its maker(s) and the context of its production, as well as connections with cartographic prototypes and derivatives. Thanks to the detailed comparative descriptions given in this cartobibliography, it is now easier to identify the editions from which some maps of the island were removed and that survive separately in private or public collections. The third volume is devoted to the 18th century to 1885, while the first covers the 15th to the 16th centuries and the second volume covers the 17th century.
