Last summer the Board of Regents ofour host instirudon Stephen F. Austin State Universiry approved the establishment of a new academic press, SFA Stare University Press. Mter consulradon with Press editor Kimberly Verhines, the Association and the new endry agreed to a new arrangemenr in the production of the Journal. While the Association will retain full editorial concrol, SFA State University Press has agreed [0 produce the design. page set-up, and prinring of the East Texas Historical Journal. The new partnership aJlows our Aagship publication to take advantage of new production technology, which will allow us [0 utilize color and reproduce photographs more effecrively. It is also cost-effective and will actually reduce some of the COSt of producing the Journal. There are also a few changes in the conrent of the Journal. [n today's economic climate, book publishers are producing fewer works, which means that the JournaL will conrain fewer book reviews. While nor fully implemenred to offset the pauciry of book reviews, each issue will contain more than reviews of books; it will evolve to produce film, lecture, and evenr reviews. The current issue begins such a procedure with the cooperation of CLio's Eye. an online journal generated by the Stephen F. Austin State University Department of History under the tutelage of Dr. Deanne Malpass. The JournaL will concinue to evolve in the next few issues. Future plans call for a "theme" issue over Spanish Colonial East Texas, perhaps a few longer and more in-depth pieces with a greater use of images and phorographs. But change will never replace the qualiry that we have all come [0 expect from the Association's leading publication and will always reflect our mission ro preserve and enhance the understanding of East Texas' unique heritage. I hope that you enjoy these changes in the East Texas HistoricaL JournaL and, as always. J welcome any feedback or commen ts you may have concerning the Association's publicarion.

  • Journeys of a Coronelli Celestial Globe [October 2020]
    Journeys of a Coronelli Celestial Globe André HECK [email protected] http://www.aheck.org/ Summary I show that the Coronelli celestial globe of Strasbourg Astronomical Observatory was a piece of booty (in favor of the French authorities) at the outcome of WWI. Half a century earlier, it was part of another war booty (then to the benefit of the German army) after the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-1871. I traced back to 1910 the arrival of the globe at Strasbourg Astronomical Observatory, as a donation from the Kriegsschule in Metz and from what was left from the French École d'Application de l'Artillerie et du Génie at the same location, itself having been created in 1794 by merging several institutions in a post-revolutionary rearrangement of the French military schools. Thus the globe might have come from one of those components. Introduction Vincenzo Coronelli and his globes When I arrived in March 1983 at Strasbourg Born in Venice on 15 August 1650, Vincenzo Observatory on a position of Astronome Associé Coronelli entered at the age of 15 the convent [Associated Astronomer], the only office that of the Minor Brothers of San Nicolò della Lattuca. could be made available to me – after clearing it from garbage and pushing some pieces of old At 21, he joined the great convent of Santa Maria furniture on the sides – was a large room next to Gloriosa dei Frari where he established in 1685 the rotonde, a round hall on the main floor of the an etching workshop very active in cartographic Grande Coupole [Big Dome].

  • Mapping the Ottomans: Sovereignty, Territory, and Identity in the Early Modern Mediterranean Palmira Brummett Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-09077-4 - Mapping the Ottomans: Sovereignty, Territory, and Identity in the Early Modern Mediterranean Palmira Brummett Frontmatter More information Mapping the Ottomans Sovereignty, Territory, and Identity in the Early Modern Mediterranean Simple paradigms of Muslim–Christian confrontation and the rise of Europe in the seventeenth century do not suffice to explain the ways in which Euro- pean mapping envisioned the “Turks” in image and narrative. Rather, maps, travel accounts, compendia of knowledge, and other texts created a picture of the Ottoman Empire through a complex layering of history, ethnography, and eyewitness testimony, which juxtaposed current events to classical and Biblical history; counted space in terms of peoples, routes, and fortresses; and used the land and seascapes of the map to assert ownership, declare victory, and embody imperial power’s reach. Enriched throughout by exam- ples of Ottoman self-mapping, this book examines how Ottomans and their empire were mapped in the narrative and visual imagination of early modern Europe’s Christian kingdoms. The maps serve as centerpieces for discussions of early modern space, time, borders, stages of travel, information flows, invocations of authority, and cross-cultural relations. Palmira Brummett is Professor Emerita of History at the University of Ten- nessee, where she was Distinguished Professor of Humanities, and Visiting Professor of History at Brown University. Her publications include Ottoman Seapower and Levantine Diplomacy in the Age of Discovery (1994); Image and Imperialism in the Ottoman Revolutionary Press, 1908–1911 (2000); The ‘Book’ of Travels: Genre, Ethnology and Pilgrimage, 1250–1700 (2009), for which she was the editor and a contributor; and Civilizations Past and Present (2000–2005), for which she was the co-author of multiple editions.

The present set of gores provides a remarkable large format depiction of North America, based upon the monumental terrestrial globe constructed by Coronelli for the Louis XIV. The gores are virtually identical to the content of Coronelli's 2 sheet map of North America, with the exception of the elaborate explanatory text in the text block at the top left corner. The vast majority of the vignettes are virtually identical. While the most striking feature of the map is the depiction of California as an island, historically, it is Coronelli's treatment of the Rio Grande that is of greatest significance. Earlier map makers had consistently shown the river flowing into the Gulf of California. While Giovanni Battista Nicolosi was the first to properly show the course of the Rio Grande flowing into the Gulf of Mexico, it was not until Coronelli adopted this treatment of the river that it received universal acceptance. One of the annotations in the map adjacent to Il Paeso (El Paso) notes that the course of the river has historically been depicted as flowing southwest, but is correctly shown now flowing northeast. In describing Coronelli's map of North America, Burden refers to it as "a major leap in the cartography of the day.

  • Historic Maps As Teaching Tools: a Curriculum Guide for Grades 5–8
    Historic Maps as Teaching Tools: A Curriculum Guide for Grades 5–8 Patricia Hewitt Judy Reinhartz, PhD Dennis Reinhartz, PhD In late 2011, the Fray Angélico Chávez History Library was awarded a $179,600 grant from the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) to catalog its map collection, a three-year effort which helped researchers and the public discover and make use of its resources. The Council’s award program, Cataloging Hidden Special Collections and Archives, sought to increase awareness of collections of substantial intellectual value that are unknown and inaccessible to scholars. CLIR administers this national effort with the support of generous funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The primary criterion used by the award review panel to evaluate submitted proposals is the potential national impact on scholarship and teaching which the hidden collections would reveal. In addition to cataloging our maps we want to make our collection user friendly for students as well as scholars. We hope that this resulting effort, Historic Maps as Teaching Tools: A Curriculum Guide for Grades 5–8, may serve as a model for instructors who wish to use historic maps in the local classrooms.

  • Geometrie Di Dominio E Ideologie Veneziane Nelle Carte Di Vincenzo Coronelli
    ANASTASIA STOURAITI PROPAGANDA FIGURATA: GEOMETRIE DI DOMINIO E IDEOLOGIE VENEZIANE NELLE CARTE DI VINCENZO CORONELLI In un singolare opuscolo stampato a Udine nel 1687 col titolo Amba- scieria della Grecia liberata l’anonimo autore immagina le scienze e le arti preparare le feste per il ricevimento del patriarca d’Aquileia, Gio- vanni Dolfin, nella città friulana.1 Tra gli apparati della decorazione spiccano alcuni quadri delle città del Peloponneso appena conquistate dalle armi veneziane. Nel quadro di Prevesa si rappresenta «al mezo il gran signore in piedi collo scettro e turbante imperiale per terra, co- perto d’un ricchissimo manto, geografico di tutti i suoi regni, attorno i quattro principi confinanti collegati a federe, che dividendosi il manto lo spogliano»; in quello di Corone «in lontananza la Fama che publica a suon di tromba nella piazza di Costantinopoli ripiena di numeroso po- polo le vittorie della Serenissima Republica»; in un altro, che illustra la conquista di Calamata, il gran signore con i suoi ministri spiega i motivi delle sconfitte subite, mentre in quello di Navarino viene raffigurato «Caronte con molte ombre infernali nel fiume Acheronte (quale al pa- rer di Strabone ha la sua origine nella Grecia) con la sua barca, che tra- ghetta il gran turco al Capo Matapan sul Braccio di Maina, creduto la bocca d’inferno»; infine un ritratto del capitano generale Francesco Morosini. La serie delle caricature dei turchi e dei dipinti sopra menzionati co- stituisce uno dei tanti esempi di quell’arte ‘‘documentaria’’ fiorita du- rante gli ultimi anni dell’espansionismo veneziano. Allora la guerra contro i turchi fu accompagnata da una vasta e articolata comunica- zione basata sulla stampa, le arti figurative, la medaglistica e la musica, allo scopo di promuovere una visione trionfalistica e un’interpreta- zione eroica della storia e della politica marciana.
