Extractions: English-language Abstracts Mapping the Aztec Capital: The 1524 Nuremberg Map of Tenochtitlan, Its Sources and Meanings, by Barbara E. Mundy Norumbega and Harmonia Mundi in Sixteenth-Century Cartography, by Kirsten A. Seaver Abraham Ortelius and the Hermetic Meaning of the Cordiform Projection, by Giorgio Mangani The cordiform projection employed by Oronce Fine, Gerard Mercator and Abraham Ortelius may have had a hermetic meaning. The focus in this paper is on Ortelius, for recent studies have suggested connections between Ortelius, Christopher Plantin and a clandestine religious sect in Antwerp, called the Family of Love (Family of Charity), whose emblem was the heart, source of divine illumination and of Free Will. It is argued that Ortelius's contemporaries in the radical religious circles of northern Europe would have perceived the Theatrum orbis terrarum in such a light. As Guillaume Postel's evaluation of Ortelius's work demonstrates, the atlas was considered a talismanic book based on the power of the images. At the end of the eighteenth century, when the line of the frontier between the Kingdom of France and the Austrian Netherlands was being fixed, the thematic manuscript maps of the boundary treaties played a fundamental role as tools in the process of negotiation. The maps gave the negotiators a visual grasp of the complexity of the territorial claims and an understanding of the economic and political stakes involved in the peaceful transactions. The maps discussed here, together with the treaty with which they were associated, reveal another little known but important aspect of boundary maps, namely the way the careful depiction of the major lines of land communication points to the role of the maps as records of those economic stakes.

http://www.press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/534316.html

Extractions: Gerard Mercator was more than just a mapmaker. Although biographical dictionaries accustomed to single occupations typically treat him as merely a cartographer or a geographer, Mercator distinguished himself at various times as a calligrapher, an engraver, a maker of scientific instruments, and a publisher. No less impressive are his deep interests in mathematics, astronomy, cosmography, terrestrial magnetism, history, philosophy, and theology. Although biographers lament the lack of diaries, account books, and carefully archived personal correspondence, the historical record reveals Mercator as an introspective and energetic chap who was competent in science, honest and well liked, technically savvy and clever with his hands, curious about the world around him, successful as an entrepreneur, and well positioned to make a pair of substantial contributions to mapmaking.

http://www.library.ucsb.edu/people/larsgaard/plan1500.html

Extractions: The sixteenth century was marked by a spate of voyages of discovery, resulting in the doubling in size of the known world. The heavily used portolan charts, suffering from not being based on detailed surveys and from the lack of a rigid system of connections between ports, revealed some dangerous defects, such as not allowing for convergence of meridians in high latitudes and not taking account of magnetic declination, neither of which were particularly important for sailing in the Mediterranean, but which both were of pressing interest for those sailors venturing west to the Americas, attempting to find the mythical islands in the Atlantic that fourteenth- and fifteenth- century portolan charts often showed (Washburn 1969, p. 11; Bagrow 1964, p. 118; Shalowitz 1957, p. 292). By mid-sixteenth century, there were two ways to find the latitude for a given point, one being to determine the height of the sun above the horizon at the place of observation, and the other to determine the height of the polestar, using such instruments as alidades (Brown 1949, p. 180). The 2,000-year search for a method to find the longitude for a given point continued, with "reactions to the question of how to find it" varying "from total indifference to complete despondency" (Brown 1949, p. 208). In the main, longitudes were obtained from the dead reckonings of sailors and other travelers, meaning that each such figure was an estimation of the "distances and directions traveled from hour-to-hour and day-to-day" (Arthur H. Robinson 1973, p. 448).

Extractions: de mathématique au Collège de France, Oronce Fine établit en 1534-1536 cette carte du monde en projection cordiforme, qui dans un décor RENAISSANCE, porte le titre latin Recens et Integra Orbis Descriptio, c'est-à-dire "Nouvelle et Complète Description du monde". On y remarque en particulier la présence d'une vaste terre australe récemment découverte et pas encore explorée. Cette carte montrée ci-contre est la plus ancienne illustrant l'intérieur des Indes Occidentales, en particulier le Saint-Laurent. Oeuvre de Pierre Descelliers de l'école de Dieppe, elle fut probablement dressée en 1536, soit immédiatement après à la venue en 1535 de Jacques Cartier à Hochelaga au Mont Royal. Elle montre très lisiblement le mot CANADA. Plus avant, le royaume d'Hochelaga est inscrit comme "Ochilaga". Chose intéressante, ce plan reproduit la voie d'eau, la rivière Des-Prairies empruntée par Cartier pour parvenir au Mont Royal. Cette carte fait partie de la mappemonde dite Harléenne. L'original se trouve à Londres.

http://www.mapforum.com/10/10auct.htm

Extractions: This is the first of the London Book Department's catalogues to be laid out in the new Sotheby's house-style of three columns to the page. It would seem the style came from the Fine Art / Paintings catalogues. I have to wonder, however, if any one stopped to think about the difficulties of enforcing one style on different catalogues. As far as the Book Catalogues for the major sales go, it produces a very ugly layout, with a narrow outer margin, and a wide inner margin. Coupled with this, Sotheby's have also introduced lower production standards; the binding of this and subsequent catalogues is quite simply inadequate. My example of the catalogue fell apart during viewing. Durrell: Lot 187 Most unusually, Sotheby's were able to offer several maps from the Jansson-Visscher sequence of maps of New England, with most of the maps from this sequence bearing one of two views of New York, either as the city appeared in about 1650, or as it was after the Dutch recapture of the city in 1673 (the so-called 'Restitutio' view). Sotheby's illustrated four of the maps on a double-page spread, and three details of the inset view on a third page.

The exhibition, entitled "Creating French Culture," will explore the central role of culture in the development of the French nation. The exhibition will be held in the recently renovated Southwest Gallery and Pavilion of the Thomas Jefferson Building, a splendid setting for the more than 200 rare manuscripts, books, maps and other objects that will be on display. Most of these treasures have never before been exhibited outside of France. The exhibition will be on display in the Thomas Jefferson Building through December 31. The West Front doors of the Jefferson Building, at 10 First Street S.E., will be open for the duration of the exhibition. Special hours for the exhibition are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Saturday, and 1 to 5 p.m. on Sundays. The exhibition, which will be open on Sundays through the generous support of private donors, will be closed on federal holidays. The Jefferson Building, still under phased renovation, will be open to the public in its entirety in the spring of 1997.

Extractions: Conclusion Acknowledgments (end of the 15th first half of the 17th centuries) T he political and cultural history of France from 1498 to 1661, that is, from Louis XII's accession to the throne to Louis XIV's personal assumption of power, can be divided into three major phases. The first, up to the death of Henry II in 1559, looked to Italy as a land ripe for conquest and as an inspiration for France's own Renaissance. T he second period (1562-1598) saw the realm convulsed by eight civil warsthe Wars of Religionas France grappled with the Protestant Reformation. The Reformation was both a theological dispute about the proper understanding and practice of Christianity and a political controversy about the legal status of the new Reformation churches. In France, the conflict took on a further political dimension when members of the high nobility attempted to take advantage of the chaos to wrest power from the king. Factions tore each other apart. The weakened monarchy had to reconquer Paris (1594) and drive the Spanish from the kingdom (1597). Henry IV finally reestablished the monarchy's legitimacy when he legally recognized French Protestants and gave them freedom of worship.

Extractions: Limportantissima collezione di orologi del Museo Poldi Pezzoli, una delle più rappresentative del suo genere esposte in Italia, è in grande parte di formazione recente: al collezionismo di Gian Giacomo Poldi Pezzoli, fondatore del museo, risalgono soltanto pochi pezzi, fra cui alcune pendole e, il pezzo più conosciuto, l orologio a carro trionfale con automi tedesco degli inizi del XVII secolo, noto come "Carro di Diana". Lavvenimento che trasforma la collezione risale al 1973, allorchè Bruno Falck dona al museo oltre cento straordinari esemplari della sua raccolta (esposti nella sala allestita per loccasione). Si tratta di centoventinove orologi meccanici (dal XVI al XIX secolo), insieme ad alcuni orologi solari e a una sfera armillare. Accanto ai numerosi orologi meccanici rinascimentali e barocchi di produzione prevalentemente tedesca, sono ben rappresentati nella collezione Falck gli orologi decorati di smalti policromi, gli orologi da viaggio cosiddetti da carrozza con le casse ornate a sbalzo, gli orologi con automi e quelli di fantasia, in forme diverse oppure inseriti in altri oggetti.
