The Historical Atlas of the Persian Gulf is a
joint initiative of the École Pratique des Hautes
Études in Paris, the University of Tehran, and the
Documentation Centre of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran.
The aim of this trilingual (French, English and Persian)
publication is to trace the evolution of the cartographical
representations of the Gulf between 1500 and
1750.
About a hundred printed and
manuscript maps from libraries and archives all over Europe, the
United States and Iran have been gathered, some of them being
published for the first time. The maps and charts are presented in
five sections dedicated to Portuguese, Dutch, French, English and
German cartography. Each item is published with enlarged detail
reproductions showing the Gulf, and accompanied by brief
commentaries as well as transcriptions of the place names and
legends. The authors make numerous suggestions as to how the maps
and charts developed in the context of international scientific
exchange during the Early Modern age.
Hence, the Atlas shows new
perspectives on the genealogy of Gulf maps and provides an
excellent working tool for future research on the cartography and
the history of one of the Worlds great strategic
areas.
