Chekin Northern Eurasia in Medieval Cartography Inventory, Texts, Translation, and Commentary 498 p., 120 b/w ill. + 48 colour ill., 210 x 270 mm, 2006 ISBN: 978-2-503-51472-7 Languages: English, Latin Hardback The publication is available. Retail price: EUR 120,00 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. Leonid S. Chekin is Leading Research Associate at the Institute for the History of Science and Technology of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Review "The exellence of the reproductions, as well as Chekin's useful and detailed entries, make this a valuable reference work for the scholar." ( E. Edson, in The Portolan 26 (2006), p. 57-58) "L.C. has provided an excellent guide to 198 western European and Byzantine maps dating between the eighth and thirteenth centuries. Like other volumes of the series 'Terrarum Orbis' this handsome book combines a good general overview with attention to fine nuances of medieval cartography. Accurate and reliable transcriptions and translations and high-quality reproductions, many in color, make the information presented in the maps accessible to both experts and the general audience." (Natalia Lozovsky, in Speculum 82 (2007), p. 421) "The major accomplishment of the book lies in its remarkable treasury of cartographical documents and in the way these sources are fitted together. This cartographic collection provides a background against which to assess the general context of development of geographical ideas about northern Eurasia. The result of Chekin's thoughtful research, however, should appeal to everyone intereszted in medieval maps." (Alessandro Scafi, in Imago mundi 59:1 (2007), p. 121) "The author and publishers are to be congratulated on making this important volume available to scholars and others in the English-speaking world. It will provide a significant aid to many kinds of scholarly endeavour in cartographic history and cognate areas." (D. B. Shaw, in: The Slavonic and East European Review 86 (2008), p. 548) "Cet ouvrage, fruit d'un travail de longue haleine, met à la disposition des lecteurs une information abondante sur des sujets peu communément traité en Europe occidentale. [.] un travail réalisé avec soin et intelligence, qui enrichit considérablement notre connaissance des mappesmondes médiévales."

Bouloux Culture et savoirs géographiques dans l'Italie du XIVe siècle 340 p., 13 b/w ill. + 4 colour ill., 210 x 270 mm, 2002 ISBN: 978-2-503-51121-4 Languages: French Hardback The publication is available. Retail price: EUR 144,00.- 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. Nathalie Bouloux est maître de conférences en histoire médiévale à l'Université François Rabelais (Tours). Review "Le 14e siècle est une période charnière à bien des égards en Italie et encore mal étudiée pour ce qui est du savoir géographique. Les chercheurs se sont trop longtemps focalisés sur la redécouverte de Ptolemée, vue comme un élément décisif des 'progrès' de la géographie. N.B. tente une autre approche: comment le développement des études humanistes a-t-il affecté les autres champs du savoir et en quoi la méthode humaniste, appliquée à des textes géographiques, a-t-elle modifié la perception et la représentation de l'espace ? La tâche pouvait paraître écrasante, étant donné le nombre et la diversité des textes. N.B. a relevé le défi. [?] Elle a su tirer de la multiplicité des sources une synthèse réussie. [?] Il faut louer avant tout le remarquable travail effectué sur les documents. [?] Le livre comporte une copieuse bibliographie, des index utiles et des très belles illustrations." (Ch. Deluz, in Revue d'histoire ecclésiastique, 98, 2003, p. 215-217) "Questo della Bouloux è un lavoro solido, fondato su una larghissima conoscenza delle fonti e che si segnala per accuratezza e finezza di analisi e di giudizio, ponendosi come indispensabile con tributo alllo studio dell'argomento." (G. Musca, in Quaderni medievali, 56, 2003, p. 283) "It is a valuable, stimulating, and indeed fundamental contribution to our understanding of the development of the modern spatial imagination."

Hoogvliet Pictura et scriptura Textes, images et herméneutique des mappae mundi (XIIIe-XVIe siècles) 391 p., 21 b/w ill. + 12 colour ill., 210 x 270 mm, 2007 ISBN: 978-2-503-52065-0 Languages: French Hardback The publication is available. Retail price: EUR 150,00 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. Cet ouvrage a pour but de montrer la survivance des idées médiévales dans la cartographie du xvie siècle, sous plusieurs aspects originaux. L'étude procède non seulement à partir du genre médiéval des mappae mundi, mais encore des textes de géographie descriptive. En effet, comme nombre de descriptiones orbis peuvent être considérées comme des cartes du monde sous forme écrite, il importe d'apprécier leur signification dans le contexte textuel où elles apparaissent et de mesurer les correspondances et les divergences qui s'aperçoivent entre les deux types de représentation. D'autre part, même si la découverte du Nouveau Monde introduisit d'évidents changements, l'influence de la description de l'orbis tripartitus médiéval reste sensible au xvie siècle. Enfin, en ce qui concerne le rapport, au sein des cartes elles-mêmes, entre la figuration et le texte, là où l'on perçoit traditionnellement au xvie siècle la naissance de la cartographie scientifique, l'étude démontre la survivance des mirabilia (animaux exotiques et monstres humains) et de la figure de deux souverains fréquemment représentés sur les mappae mundi médiévales, Alexandre le Grand et le Prêtre Jean. Il ressort de cette monographie fouillée, appuyée sur l'examen approfondi de nombreux documents que, les cartes pré-modernes comme les mappemondes médiévales étaient de façon indissoluble à la fois des documents « scientifiques » et des supports de nature religieuse invitant à la méditation allégorique. L'auteur Margriet Hoogvliet enseigne à l'université d'Amsterdam (Pays-Bas); ses publications portent sur les aspects culturels de la cartographie médiévale et prémoderne et sur textes, images et médias de la fin du moyen âge jusqu'au début du xviie siècle, thème sur lequel elle a dirigé une récente publication collective (Multi-Media Compositions from the Late Middle Ages to the Early Modern Period, 2004).

Retail price: EUR 155,00 Le peintre et la carte. Au croisement de l'histoire de l'art, du droit et de la cartographie, cet ouvrage propose d'observer le développement des usages de la carte locale et du plan au cours des derniers siècles du Moyen Age et d'en analyser les causes. L'étude s'appuie sur une centaine de cas de figuration de territoires, de lieux ou d'édifices à partir d'observations et de relevés effectués entre les années 1320 et 1514 par des peintres ou des agents députés par l'autorité en Provence, dans le Dauphiné et dans la cité pontificale d'Avignon. Le dossier formé par ce corpus iconographique et textuel permet de repenser la définition de la pratique picturale de la vue à l'époque de sa gestation et de son premier essor dans la peinture comme dans la cartographie. Par le prisme de la vue figurée, l'ouvrage propose aussi d'interroger les transformations qui furent provoquées par l'accroissement de la place de l'image dans les sociétés de la fin du Moyen Age, notamment dans la conduite à distance du pouvoir. L'avènement de nouvelles pratiques de la vue doit en effet être relié à celui de l'enquête qui lui est contemporain. Ils traduisent ensemble un changement de hiérarchie dans les sources légitimes, ou non, de la connaissance et de l'information territoriale qui caractérise certaines des conceptions de la justice et du bon gouvernement des XIVe-XVe siècles. Agrégé d'histoire et docteur en histoire de l'École pratique des hautes études, Paul Fermon consacre ses recherches à l'histoire de la cartographie, de la peinture et des connaissances territoriales aux derniers siècles du Moyen Age. Review « Le peintre et la carte invite à porter un nouveau regard sur l'évolution du métier de peintre dans le milieu rhodanien à l'aube de la Renaissance. Sa thèse repose sur une abondante littérature pluridisciplinaire et des sources en partie inédites. » (Raphaële Skupien, dans Bulletin Monumental, 177/4, 2019, p. 404) « Ce beau livre est, sans conteste, une contribution importante à l'histoire de la cartographie du XIVe au début du XVIe siècle. Il attire l'attention sur un aspect peu étudié : les vues figurées ou images réalistes représentant les paysages urbains et ruraux, pris sur le vif et avant tout utilitaires. » (Christiane De Craecker-Dussart, dans Le Moyen Âge, 126/2, 2020, p. 388) "Fermon's considerable achievement is to have articulated a paradigm shift in medieval spatial practices." (Marcia Kupfer, in Speculum, 96/1, 2021, p 216) "(.) this study does present some compelling new information about the spread of a precocious and varied cartographic culture among literate elites, the role of ecclesiastical, princely and judicial circles in the production of local maps and plans, and the litigious nature of these artographic examples. The links between art and cartography can be seen in their common graphic processes and, most of all, in the very fact that painters were also cartographers. These characteristics all contribute to the interest, th.

Hardback - This books describes the life of Elisa ben Abraham Cresques, known to many as the author of the Catalan Atlas, and focuses on the Jewish aspects of his fascinating career, his professional profile, and his scholarship. This book presents a small chapter in the intellectual history of the Jews of Majorca. Its key figure is Elisha ben Abraham Bevenisti Cresques (1325 1387) a cartographer in the service of King Peter IV of Aragon and a scribe and illuminator of Hebrew books. Elisha Cresques career evolves at a point in time when some of the most fascinating threads of methodological interests relevant to intellectual history meet. He emerges as a hub, so to speak, where mapmaking converged with scribal work, miniature painting with scientific knowledge, and the culture of a minority with that of the majority. How he was able to negotiate his patron s expectations and his own cultural identity and frame them within the political, cultural, and religious discourses of his time is the subject of this book.

Translation of a bit of the Latin on the back: "This region is part of Gallica Belgica, once inhabited by those from Amiens, Beauvais and Vermandois or, as Ptolemæus calls them, Romandui. The river Somme which some think to be Ptolemæus' Phrudis, refreshes the whole country, and renders it fertile for all kinds of grain, and the towns and cities too abound with all necessities, for it yields so much wheat that it is called by a common saying the barn or granary of Paris. It has no vineyards, which defect some think is to be attributed to the laziness of the inhabitants, rather than to the inappropriateness of either the soil or the climate." Some toning; staining on the back, the text remains perfectly legible. Very Good.

Translation of a bit of the Latin on the back: "Once there were between the Hadriatic sea and the kingdom of Hungary two important lands, called Illyricum and Dalmatia; before our time, they split up into many parts, namely Carinthia, Croatia, Carnia, & Slavonica, (commonly called Windischmark). Some also count Bosnia among them. The ancients distinguished between the Illyrians, Dalmatians, & Liburnians : but nowadays the borders between these lands and regions have become unclear. This region these days is partly under the rule of the kingdom of Hungary and partly under that of the Venetians. Its inhabitants mostly live in wooden houses with thatched roofs, except for some cities along the coast, in which they can live more humanly. There is no king here for the benefit of these inhabitants. This place yields wine, corn, cattle and plenty of salt. That is pleasant, but it worked out differently for Stiria as compared to Westphalia; for as the last mentioned Westphalia produces wicked rather than foolish people, similarly the first mentioned Stiria produces gluttons and fools, rather than wicked or sly people." The fold reinforced on the back with archival tape; some toning. Very Good.

Translation of a bit of the Latin on the back: "Illyricum is a country on the coast of the Hadriatic sea opposite Italy. Some think that these countries were named as they are after Illyrius, the son of Polyphemus. Others [say] after Illyrius, the son of Cadmus. Strabo writes that the whole sea coast of Illyricum, with the adjacent islands, is provided with very good harbours, whereas in contrast to this the whole opposite coast of Italy has none at all. It is a hot country, as Italy is, and very fertile for many sorts of grain, famous for olives and vines, except [for] certain places which are altogether rough and untilled. The high country above it is altogether mountainous, cold and snowy, especially the part towards the North. The people of this country in old times were much given to robbery and thieving, but now they are somewhat more civil. They dwell mostly in houses of timber, thatched with straw, except for a few harbour cities in which their buildings are a bit more human." A large light stain on the back, text perfectly legible, Very Good.

Translation of a bit of the Latin on the back: "This province was divided by Alphonsus the Stout, king of Arragon into two parts, Abruzzo the Lower and Abruzzo the Higher. Abruzzo the Higher which we have depicted separately by itself on this map is separated from the Lower by the river Pescara which old writers called Aternus. Scipio Mazella in his very accurate description of the kingdom of Naples says that this country is by location and nature of the place very strong, and inhabited by a stout and sturdy nation, and that their soil is very fertile for wines and cattle." Minimal staining at the front margin, a little on the back, the top margin has an inch tear, cured with tape on the back. Very Good.

This [Tyrius] is a man worthy to be believed in this matter, because he was both an eye witness and a most diligent searcher of the truth. I have a map, I think drawn with a pen in Egypt, which shows this many [river mouths, viz. four], and it does not refer to any others that are worth speaking of. Haithon writes that in this whole country there is no strong city fortified with a ditch, wall or rampart except for Alexandria and Cairo.

Translation of a bit of the Latin on the back: "Only this part of the British island still enjoys [the presence of] its most ancient inhabitants, who are indeed the true Britains. They still continue to speak the Britan language, and cannot speak one word of English, which consists of a mixture of Saxon and other languages. They now divide Wales into three provinces, Venedoth, Povisia and Dehenbarth. Venedoth also comprises Mona island. The inhabitants in food and fashion follow the English. And because they are a people not fond to work, and bragging much about their noble background, they rather devote themselves to the service of the king and nobility than to apply themselves to manual occupations. This is the reason why you shall find few noblemen throughout England whose greater part of servants (in which the English surpass any other nation whatsoever) are not born as Welshmen." An eight inch tape repair on the back; some soiling. A Very Good copy.
