Excerpt from The Geographical Journal, Vol. 15: Including the Proceedings of the Royal Geographical Society; January to June, 1900
The comparative excellence of the Cottoniana is perhats due to its being the work of an Irish scholar-monk. We are all well aware that in pre-norman England and Britain (sic. In the British isles hetwc en the age of Justinian and the age of William the Conqueror) there is no school of learning, of art, of religion, of literature, or of science, comparable to that which sprang from the Irish Church of Patrick, Colomba, and Aidan. The insertion of Irish names,' especially that of Armagh, on our present map strengthens the view that it is the work of a scholar who was trained in Irish schools, or derived his knowledge from men so trained.
Among the sources of the Cottonians, as we have already said, the most important is Orosius. Out of a hundred and forty-six legends, seventy-five are derived from the writings of St. Augustine's favourite disciple; and in these seventy-five we find the textual basis of the whole map, and the names of almost all the countries enumerated thereon. Prof. Miller argues ingeniously, from various details, that this Orosian material appears to be derived more directly from the lost Orosian map than from the existing text of the geographical passages in the Historic adrerzms Pagauos. In any case, the work here in question shows us a certain, though small, body of antique material other than that existing in the Orosian writings, as at present known The scribe or draughtsman tells us that he found, in the manuscript of Friesian's Periegesis,' a map which he thought was drawn by Priscian himself. This map he supposed to have been meant by Priscian as an illustration of his treatise, originally a translation from the third century Greek of Dionysiusfi but it is plausibly conjectured by Miller to have been a copy of the lost Orosian scheme; and, in any case,. It was obviously the immediate original of the Cottonians. Thus the latter design, unique among its contemporaries, and therefore mysterious, in its cartographical merit, is brought into a certain relation with an ancient geographiml school of no contemptible attainment; and in this case, as in others, we find a law of evolution, of inter-connection, and of historical development, bringing together the most surprising and distant parallels. And throwing light upon a field where, as in natural science, the mistaken ideas of separate and unconnected existence had long prevailed.
