Additional Information
- According to Pigatto and Zanini (1999), Gruithuisen's original map was published three times:
- In his Selenognotische Fragmente, 1821
- Reproduced as Figure 5 in Pigatto and Zanini
- In Gedenkschriften der Bonner Akademie der Naturforscher, 1822
- In Astronomisches Jahrbuch für das Jahr 1825, Berlin, Gedruckt, bey C.F.E. Späthen, 1822.
- The map is described on pp. 200-202
- The available scans include only a fragment of the actual map as it appeared in the yearbook.
- In his Selenognotische Fragmente, 1821
- The last named publication appears to be source of the map by Gruithuisen "published in 1825" shown on page 112, and with a nomenclature overlay on page 113, of Whitaker who says it is an interpretation of the map by Tobias Mayer.
- The present map appears have been redrawn from Gruithuisen's original at some later date, with the nomenclature possibly copied (with some spelling errors) from, Johann Schröter's version of Mayer's map, except that at #55 the name Schröter ("after Gruithuisen" -- a reference to his "city") is inserted and the remaining numbers are increased by one.
