Map of the Great Empire of An Nam (1838)




MAP OF GREAT EMPIRE OF AN NAM (1838) by Father J.L.Taberd

TABULA GEOGRAPHICA EMPERII ANAMITICI (1838)
AN NAM ĐẠI QUỐC HỌA ĐỒ (1838)


In this map, at the position of Paracel Archipelago (quần đảo Hoàng Sa) Father Taberd notes: Paracel seu Cát Vàng (which means Paracel OR Cat Vang; in Latin seu means or). It is himhelf, who in his book Univers, Histoire et Description de Tous Les Peuples, de Leurs Religions, Moeurs et Coutumes (1833), wrote that Vietnamese call Paracels by the name of Cat Vang. Cat Vang stands literally for Yellow Sand (which in Sino-Vietnamese is Hoang Sa)

Making your own jewelry designs can be a cost discount pandora beads effective and rewarding activity, and can lead to more opportunities cheap pandora beads later on. Every woman knows what new pandora beads jewelry pieces will fit her sense of style and compliment her looks; but not everyone pandora set realizes how easy it is to make their own jewelry.
