    ther is a website from the Marciana National Library in Venice, Italy, that offers the possibility of viewing part of the map collection of this ancient institution (the book collection dates back to the first donation made by Francesco Petrarca, the author of the Decameron, in 1362).


    The site is awful enough: Geoweb
    The difficult part is to find whar you are looking for: the best way to throw away the s****y interactive map, and use a good old textual search (look left for "online catalog").
    Images comes, however, with a watermark, but it offers scans of big size.
    Worth taking a look: it is a huge collection (in fact, the site allows you to search not only on the cartographic collection, but also the ancient prints)
