    Info Hi there!

    Hi there!

    My name is Marcel and my Nickname "περίπλους/periplous" means "a manuscript document that lists the ports and coastal landmarks, in order and with approximate intervening distances, that the captain of a vessel could expect to find along a shore." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periplus). But it also is a term used by Old Ez (Ezra Pound). For him it is not the abstract view of the map but the concrete seafarer's view of the coast. (More about that term I do not know.)

    I am not a cartographer but try to be a writer and I am definetely an aficionado of maps!
