Tempi di rifornimento |
Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 125,00 | | Descrizione | The Franciscan Vincenzo Coronelli (Venice, 1650-1718) was one of the most famous creators of globes and maps in the late seventeenth century. Neglected for much of the intervening period, his works are now highly prized on the antiquarian market. But scholars have lagged behind and studies on his cosmography remain, till now, partial, if not erroneous.The present study offers a detailed investigation of contemporary documents and Coronelli?s own works. It throws new light on the man and his geographical and cosmographical interests, and puts this in the historical context. It also describes his astonishing career within the Church. His works are framed within the perspective of seventeenth-century knowledge of the representation of space, and places the scientific research of the period in its social milieu.The book is divided into three parts. Each part is devoted to a particular aspect of Coronelli?s activities and sets them within the stages of his career. The first part focuses on the manufacture of two four-metre diameter globes for the Galerie des glaces at Versailles, subsequent production of these in smaller dimensions, and their marketing throughout Europe. The second part focuses on the workshop of the Frari, paying particular attention to Coronelli?s role as a salesperson of writings and drawings about the war against the Ottomans, and as an editor of maps and plans, geographical atlases, illustrated books, and finally an unsuccessful encyclopaedia. This section also examines how manufacture within this workshop was organized, its finance, and the economic relations with colleagues, competitors, and clients. The third part examines the ?Cosmografo della Serenissima? and describes its successes and failures, and the Accademia degli Argonauti and its links to princes and aristocrats, the Venetian republic, and the république des lettres.An appendix is provided comprising transcripts of certain key documents discussed in the volume, and a list of maps that can be attributed to Coronelli. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

Cartographie et représentations de l'Orient méditerranéen en Occident (du milieu du XIIIe à la fin du XVe siècle)

Tempi di rifornimento |
Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 100,00 | | Descrizione | À la fin du Moyen Âge, l?Orient méditerranéen fait l?objet de nombreuses descriptions et de représentations cartographiques en Occident : Orient sacré de la Bible et des Évangiles, Orient épique et féodal des Croisades et des États latins de Terre sainte, mais aussi Orient de la Grèce antique et de ses vestiges. À la fois lointaines et familières, les régions du Levant font partie de la mémoire géographique de l?Occident. Il s?agit d?un espace aux limites variables, centré sur la Terre sainte mais étendu selon les cas jusqu?à l?Europe orientale et les Balkans et jusqu?à l?Égypte, sans cesse redéfini en fonction des intérêts occidentaux manifestés à travers les cartes. Une période particulièrement féconde de cette production cartographique s?étend de la fin du XIIIe siècle, période de vains projets de reconquête des Lieux saints et d?une recrudescence des pèlerinages, jusqu?aux dernières décennies du XVe siècle, lorsque l?exploration des îles et des côtes africaines décentre progressivement l?attention des Occidentaux vers l?Atlantique.
Les cartes géographiques étudiées dans ce livre (mappemondes, croquis régionaux, cartes marines, mais aussi cartes et descriptions des îles), ne peuvent être comprises que dans leur rapport avec des textes dont elles proviennent et qui les accompagnent. Ce sont des outils intellectuels adaptés et modifiés en fonction des objectifs de leurs auteurs et de leurs destinataires. Elles illustrent la place toujours essentielle, à la fin du Moyen Âge, de la géographie sacrée et de préoccupations géopolitiques et stratégiques. Leur point commun n?est ni leur forme ni leur souci d?exactitude, mais le contexte dans lequel elles ont été construites : l?inquiétude de l?Occident face à l'expansion turque. Sans nier pour autant que le merveilleux et l?exotisme y soient parfois présents, cette étude tend à montrer que ces cartes médiévales avaient bien pour fonction de représenter un espace réel sur lequel il était possible d?agir.

Fra Mauro's Mappa mundi and Fifteenth-Century Venice
| Edizione: | Brepols Publishers, 2011 | | Collana: | Terrarum Orbis |
Tempi di rifornimento |
Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 95,00 | | Descrizione | Fra Mauros mappamundi, drawn around 1450 in the monastery of San Michele on Murano in the lagoon of Venice, is among the most relevant compendia of knowledge of the Earth and the Cosmos of the fifteenth century. By examining literary, visual, textual and archival evidences, some long considered lost, this book places the map within the larger context of Venetian culture in the fifteenth century. It provides a detailed analysis of both its main sources (auctores veteres such as Pliny, Solinus, Ptolemy, and novi, like Albert the Great, Thomas Aquinas, Marco Polo and Niccolò de Conti) as well as of the composite networks of contemporary knowledge (scholasticism, humanism, monastic culture, as well as more technical skills such as marine cartography and mercantile practices), investigating the way they combine in the epistemological unity of the imago mundi.
More a work on intellectual history than cartography, the book constructs a complex set of frameworks within which to situate Fra Mauros monumental effort. These range from the cultural history of the reception of the world map from the fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries to the analysis of the material conditions under which map-makers such as Fra Mauro worked; from the history of ideas, especially of natural philosophy to the links between world representations and travel literature. It also addresses the Venetian reception of Ptolemys Geography, the interactions between Venetian art, theology and cosmography and the complexities of the Venetian vernacular.
The books develops a multi-tiered approach, in which different elements of the rich cultural context in which this world map was created, interact with each other, each casting a new light on the encyclopaedic work being analyzed.

La Géographie de Ptolémée en Occident (IVe-XVIe siècle)
| Edizione: | Brepols Publishers, 2009 | | Collana: | Terrarum Orbis |
Tempi di rifornimento |
Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 95,00 | | Descrizione | In Late Antiquity, Ptolemys treatise on cartography (second century AD) was yet to achieve the recognition that Ptolemy had hoped for, despite relatively wide distribution. However, in the early Middle Ages, knowledge of the Geographia did not disappear completely, owing mainly to treatises on astronomy translated from Arabic. The Latin version produced at the beginning of the 15th century did not, therefore, have the revolutionary character that is often attributed to it. The work that made it possible to understand the universe of Antiquity as it appeared in the classics was well received from the literary point of view. But the astrologists and scientists educated in universities were instrumental, in a way that has, until now, been little studied, in analysing the contradictions between the Ptolemys representation of the universe and other representations that were still current and accepted. The long process of the modernisation of Ptolemys vision entered a decisive phase at the beginning of the second half of the fifteenth century following the synthesis between humanism and natural philosophy. It continued until the beginning of the sixteenth century, considering the modes of representation (anachronistically called projections), retaining the concept of the influence of celestial bodies on the sublunar sphere, a feature of conceptions of the world held since Antiquity that the work of Ptolemy justified as best.
The reception of the Geographia, envisaged over a long period, does not therefore confirm the opinion that it played a fundamental role in the supposed move towards a modern concept of the universe distinct from a mediaeval model.
This book questions a certain number of commonplaces of cultural history. It is based on the first hand analysis of Greek and Roman texts and maps from highly diverse intellectual backgrounds.

This study aims to show, while making
use of several new approaches, that medieval ideas survived in the
cartography of the sixteenth century.
The analysis is not only based on the
mediaeval genre of the mappae mundi, but also on
descriptive geographical texts. Since many descriptiones orbis can be
considered as world maps in written form, it is important to take
into account their meaning within the textual context where they
appear, and to estimate the correspondences and the divergences
that can be noticed between the two types of representation. On the
other hand, even if the discovery of the New World introduced
without any doubt important changes, the influence of the
description of the mediaeval orbis tripartitus remains
perceptible during the sixteenth century. Finally, as far as the
relation between the figures and texts on the maps themselves is
concerned, where traditionally the sixteenth century is identified
as the birth of scientific cartography, this study makes clear that
medieval mirabilia
(exotic animals and monstrous races) survive well beyond the
traditional boundaries of the Middle Ages, and so do the
representations of two world rulers, Alexander the Great and
Prester John.
It follows from this richly documented
study that pre-modern maps as the medieval mappae mundi were, in an
undividable way, at the same time scientific
instruments, as well as documents that are open to allegorical
meditations.

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.

Fra Mauros map of the world
a masterpiece of western cartography, composed around 1450
has until now never been the subject of a modern study,
despite its immense renown. The map has been reproduced and cited
in hundreds of books, but the most recent full study was in 1806:
Placido Zurlas Il
mappamondo di Fra Mauro. The present book aims at an analysis
and an in-depth study of this important document, offering the
reader an understanding within its contemporary cultural
framework.
The project is the result of
collaboration between historians and scholars belonging to two
Venetian institutions, the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana where the map is still preserved and the Centro
Interdisciplinare di Rilievo, Cartografia ed Elaborazione (CIRCE)
of Venice's
Iuav University. The work is in two parts, a volume of
studies and a CD-ROM. The latter contains not only a
high-resolution image of the map, but also software for cross
consultation of text and image, in order to allow 'navigation'
between the map and its inscriptions

Scythia and the islands in the ocean, the farthest northern and
northeastern regions of the world known to ancient and medieval
geographers, roughly correspond to modern-day Scandinavia, Russia,
eastern Europe, and central Asia. Those areas figured prominently
in cartography of the Middle Ages. The mythical island of Scandza,
the land of the Amazons, the apocalyptic tribes of Gog and Magog,
and other traditional symbols of chaos and barbarity existed side
by side and often merged with new knowledge about people, cities,
and states.
The book, originally published in Russian as Kartografiia
khristianskogo srednevekovia (Moscow: Vostochnaia literatura,
1999), offers an analysis of 198 Western European and Byzantine
maps that date between the eighth and thirteenth centuries and
contain information about the north and northeast of the inhabited
world. The maps are divided into fifteen groups. Each group of maps
is discussed in its separate chapter and all the relevant place
names and other legends on the maps are transcribed and translated
into English. Included in the book are comprehensive glossaries,
which comprise the names of persons, places, ethnicities, and
animals, and provide commentaries on the cartographic legends. The
book features reproductions of individual maps and their
details.

Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 80,00 | | Descrizione | Du point de vue des représentations de l'espace, le XIVe siècle italien paraît être une époque charnière. On y observe en effet le développement de deux courants: une géographie que l'on peut qualifier (sans jugement de valeur) de "traditionnelle", dont les représentants sont les universitaires, ou des encyclopédistes, et une géographie aux ambitions différentes, celle des premiers humanistes. Pour les premiers, conscients des mutations politico-territoriales accumulées depuis le XIIIe siècle, souvent au courant de l'élargissement des horizons asiatiques, le savoir reçu de la tradition doit être adapté et ajusté. Chez les seconds, l'intérêt pour l'Antiquité se traduit par la recherche active des textes. La confrontation de l'espace contemporain avec l'espace de l'Antiquité aboutit à des apories, à la mise en évidence des contradictions des auteurs et des savoirs et à des interrogations fécondes sur la possibilité de représenter l'espace, et sur les modes de cette représentation. Les successeurs de Pétrarque renoncent ainsi à produire une synthèse des connaissances anciennes et nouvelles et choisissent de suivre dans leurs élaborations l'ordre alphabétique, qui permet de juxtaposer les savoirs tout en se conformant à l'impératif de l'exhausitivité.

Doyen de Reims avant d'être cardinal,
un des artisans, avec Pierre d'Ailly, de la résolution du Grand
schisme d'Occident, Guillaume Fillastre a constitué, jusqu'à sa
mort en 1428, une riche bibliothèque qui témoigne de sa formation
d'humaniste et de son intérêt plus particulier pour la géographie
de la tradition gréco-romaine. Son époque, qui est aussi celle du
Pogge, voit le renouveau des études classiques s'imposer à toute
l'Europe. A côté de la personnalité de l'érudit et de
l'homme d'Eglise, on aborde ici les relations entre les
premiers humanistes français et l'Italie, l'activité des
philologues, les travaux des géographes et des cartographes dans les
premières décennies du XVe siècle. Une place toute spéciale a été
réservée à la Géographie de Ptolemée, dont la fortune, à la fin du
moyen âge, a trouvé en Fillastre un des principaux vecteurs.
