When descriptive legends do appear on nautical charts, they are generally quite similar from one cartographer to another, from one language to another (Latin, Catalan, Italian), and even across the centuries: there are some legends on early sixteenth-century nautical charts which are very similar indeed to the corresponding legends on late fourteenth-century charts. Efforts to revise, update, or replace these traditional nautical chart legends are unusual and worthy of study. The so-called Genoese world map of 1457 has non-traditional legends based on Ptolemy, Isidore of Seville, and Niccolò de’ Conti.2 Fra Mauro, who was certainly familiar with traditional nautical charts, composed new and much more extensive legends for his mappamundi of c. 1450, which together form a geographical work of encyclopaedic scope (though it is important to distinguish between the genres of mappamundi and encyclopaedia).3 The Borgiano V nautical chart in the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana — about which more below — is based on a model from Fra Mauro’s workshop, and also has non-traditional legends. The creator of the so-called Columbus chart of c. 1492 compiled new legends for his chart.4 The cartographer of the Cantino 1 For general discussion of nautical charts see Tony Campbell, ‘Census of Pre-Sixteenth-Century Portolan Charts’, Imago Mundi, xxxviii (1986), pp. 67-94; Tony Campbell, ‘Portolan Charts from the Late Thirteenth Century to 1500’, in J. B. Harley and David Woodward (eds.), The History of Cartography, vol. i, Cartography in Prehistoric, Ancient and Medieval Europe and the Mediterranean (Chicago, 1987), pp. 371-463; Ramon J. Pujades i Bataller, Les cartes portolanes: la representació medieval d’una mar solcada (Barcelona, 2007); and Corradino Astengo, ‘The Renaissance Chart Tradition in the Mediterranean’, in David Woodward (ed.), The History of Cartography, vol. iii, Cartography in the European Renaissance (Chicago, 2007), part 1, pp. 174- 262. On nautical charts up to 1440 see Philipp Billion, Graphische Zeichen auf mittelalterlichen Portolankarten – Ursprünge, Produktion und Rezeption bis 1440 (Marburg, 2011); and on Catalan charts up to 1460 see Sandra Sáenz-López Pérez, ‘Imagen y conocimiento del mundo en la Edad Media a través de la cartografía hispana’, Ph.D. Dissertation, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, 2007. 2 The Genoese world map is in Florence, Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, Portolano 1, and is conveniently reproduced in Guglielmo Cavallo (ed.), Cristoforo Colombo e l’apertura degli spazi: mostra storico-cartografica (Rome, 1992), vol. i, pp. 492-3. The legends on the map are transcribed and translated, but with errors, in Edward Luther Stevenson, Genoese World Map, 1457 (New York, 1912); there is a more recent facsimile edition of the map, with a new transcription and translation of the legends by Angelo Cattaneo, in Mappa mundi 1457 (Rome, 2008). 3 For transcription and translation of Fra Mauro’s legends see Piero Falchetta, Fra Mauro’s World Map (Turnhout, 2006); for discussion of scholars’ assertions that Fra Mauro’s mappamundi or other medieval mappaemundi are encyclopaedias, and on the importance of keeping in mind the differences between the two genres, see Angelo Cattaneo, Fra Mauro’s Mappa Mundi and Fifteenth-Century Venice (Turnhout, 2011), pp. 244-9. 4 The ‘Columbus chart’ is in Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, Rés. Ge AA 562, and it is accessibly reproduced in Kenneth Nebenzahl, Atlas of Columbus and the Great Discoveries (Chicago, 1990), pp. 22 and 24-5; many of the map’s legends are transcribed and translated in Charles de la Roncière, La carte de Christophe Colomb — The Map of Christopher Columbus (Paris, 1924). The map has been reproduced in facsimile twice, as Carte nautique sur vélin de l’Atlantique et de la Méditerranée, attribuée à Christophe Colomb, 1492 (Paris, 1992); and La carta de Cristóbal Colón, Mapamundi, circa 1492 (Barcelona, 1995). The commentary volume that accompanies the latter facsimile, by José Luis Comellas, is unfortunately not very helpful. For discussion of the map see Monique Pelletier, ‘Peut-on encore affirmer que la BN possède la carte de Christophe Colomb?’, Revue de la Bibliothèque Nationale, xlv (1992), pp. 22-5; and Valerie I. J. Flint, ‘Columbus, “El Romero” and the So-Called Columbus Map’, Terrae Incognitae, xxiv (1992), pp. 19-30. 2 eBLJ 2017, Article 6 Nautical Charts, Texts, and Transmission: The Case of Conte di Ottomano Freducci and Fra Mauro chart of c. 1502 has two legends in Africa related to those on nautical charts, but apparently composed new legends for the more southern parts of Africa as well as for the New World and Asia;5 Martin Waldseemüller in his Carta marina of 15166 compiled a great many new legends from his reading in the latest travel literature.7 The Kunstmann IV world map, probably made by Jorge Reinel in about 1519, borrows a number of traditional legends from nautical charts, but supplements them with new legends in the New World and on the southwestern coast of Africa.8 Pierre Desceliers composed new legends for his world map of 1550 based on two sources: the Novus orbis regionum ac insularum ueteribus incognitarum, edited by Simon Grynaeus and Johann Huttich, and first published in 1532; and the supplementary texts in one of four editions of Ptolemy: the 1522 (Strasbourg), 1525 (Strasbourg), 1535 (Lyon), or 1541 (Vienna).9 And Casper Vopel in his world map of 1558 composed new legends based in large part on the Novus orbis regionum ac insularum ueteribus incognitarum.10 This article addresses the legends on three essentially unstudied nautical charts by Conte di Ottomanno Freducci (active 1497-1539). These legends, like those just mentioned, are substantial departures from traditional nautical chart legends, in some cases by the addition of information to traditional legends, in other cases by the replacement of traditional legends with new ones. They are of particular interest for their length, the recondite nature of some of the new information they include, and because some of the information in them came from the workshop of the famous fifteenth-century cartographer Fra Mauro. And this is the paradox of Freducci’s legends: while they demonstrate his willingness to depart from tradition, he did not write legends filled with information about new discoveries, but added details that had appeared on maps in the previous century. Even while he was breaking with tradition, he was intensely conservative. 5 The Cantino chart is in Modena, Biblioteca Estense Universitaria, C. G. A. 2, and is well reproduced in Nebenzahl, Atlas of Columbus (see n. 4), pp. 35-7; and better in Armando Cortesão and Avelino Teixeira da Mota, Portugaliae monumenta cartographica (Lisbon, 1960-62), vol. i, plate 5, with discussion, transcriptions, and English translations of the map’s legends on pp. 7-13. A high-resolution digital image of the map has been published on the CD-ROM titled Antichi planisferi e portolani: Modena, Biblioteca Estense Universitaria (Modena and Milan, 2004). 6 Waldseemüller’s Carta marina of 1516 has been published in facsimile in Joseph Fischer and Franz Ritter von Wieser (eds.), Die älteste Karte mit dem Namen Amerika aus dem Jahre 1507 und die Carta marina aus dem Jahre 1516 des M. Waldseemüller (Ilacomilus) (Innsbruck, 1903; Amsterdam, 1968); and now in John Hessler and Chet Van Duzer, Seeing the World Anew: The Radical Vision of Martin Waldseemüller’s 1507 & 1516 World Maps (Delray Beach, FL, and Washington, DC, 2012). 7 On the new legends on Waldseemüller’s Carta marina see Chet Van Duzer, ‘The Carta marina, 1516’, in Hessler and Van Duzer, Seeing the World Anew (see n. 6), pp. 49-68; and Chet Van Duzer, ‘Waldseemüller’s World Maps of 1507 and 1516: Sources and Development of his Cartographical Thought’, The Portolan, lxxxv (2012), pp. 8-20. I plan to publish a transcription, translation, and study of the legends on the Carta marina. 8 The Kunstmann IV map was formerly in Munich, Wehrkeisbücherei VII, but has been missing since 1945; it survives in a hand-painted copy by Otto Progel of c. 1843 which is in Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, Rés. Ge AA 564. The legends are transcribed and translated into Portuguese by Armando Cortesão, Cartografia e cartógrafos portugueses dos séculos XV e XVI (Lisbon, 1935), vol. i, pp. 272-78, who includes a reproduction of the original map in vol. ii, plate 5. There is a good discussion of the map and a colour reproduction of Progel’s copy in Ivan Kupcík, Münchner Portolankarten: ‘Kunstmann I-XIII’ und zehn weitere Portolankarten = Munich Portolan Charts: ‘Kunstmann I-XIII’ and Ten Further Portolan Charts (Munich, 2000), pp.

  • The Development of Maritime Hydrography and Methods of Navigation
    THE DEVELOPMENT OF MARITIME HYDROGRAPHY AND METHODS OF NAVIGATION Lecture delivered by H enri BENCKER，on April 5th 1943. The “ Société des Conférences de iMonaco ” has kindly done me the honour to call upon me to treat before you a subject which is possibly a little dry although dealing with things of the sea, viz. the development of maritime hydrography and methods of navigation. I am all the more willing to fulfil this mission as we are indebted to the generosity of the Princely Government for the foundation and upkeep, since the year 1921, of a special Institute, situated in the Principaliiy and entrusted with the co-ordination of all questions relating to the world's hydrography. But, first of all, what is meant by “ hydrography ” ? It is customary to designate under this heading that branch of geographical science dealing with the regimen of current or stable waters which is peculiar to a given continental area. But from the stand point which concerns us, maritime hydrography is really the art of compiling charts and drawing up documents for the use of mariners with regard to the safety of their navigation and in view of ensuring the proper steering of their ships in all navigable parts, including oceans, seas and adjacent coastal zones. It includes the carrying out of necessary maritime surveys for the security of navigation viz. : coastal triangulation and shore topography measurements, the taking of soundings and sea depths, the description of coastlines, the study of tides and sea-currents. Its aim is to publish in an appropriate form for the use of navigators all data relating to the correct configuratiotf of navigable regions and all nautical information which may be of service to them.

  • Chapter 13.2: Topographic Maps 1
    Chapter 13.2: Topographic Maps 1 A map is a model or representation of objects and terrain in the actual environment. There are numerous types of maps. Some of the types of maps include mental, planimetric, topographic, and even treasure maps. The concept of mapping was introduced in the section using natural features. Maps are created for numerous purposes. A treasure map is used to find the buried treasure. Topographic maps were originally used for military purposes. Today, they have been used for planning and recreational purposes. Although other types of maps are mentioned, the primary focus of this section is on topographic maps. Types of Maps Mental Maps – The mind makes mental maps all the time. You drive to the grocery store. You turn right onto the boulevard. You identify a street sign, building or other landmark and know where this is where you turn. You have made a mental map. This was discussed under using natural features. Planimetric Maps – A planimetric map is a two dimensional representation of objects in the environment. Generally, planimetric maps do not include topographic representation. Road maps, Rand McNally ® and GoogleMaps ® (not GoogleEarth) are examples of planimetric maps. Topographic Maps – Topographic maps show elevation or three-dimensional topography two dimensionally. Topographic maps use contour lines to show elevation. A chart refers to a nautical chart. Nautical charts are topographic maps in reverse. Rather than giving elevation, they provide equal levels of water depth. Topographic Maps Topographic maps show elevation or three-dimensional topography two dimensionally. Topographic maps use contour lines to show elevation.

  • In Versions of Saint Brendan's Travels
    PARADISE (?) IN VERSIONS OF SAINT BRENDAN’S TRAVELS Leif Søndergaard Syddansk Universitet Abstract Travel accounts were the most popular genre during the Middle Ages. Travelling went in all directions but preferably to the East, where Paradise was believed to be located. Paradise was hidden behind an ocean, a wall of fire or insurmountable mountains and thus inacces- sible. Saint Brendan’s voyage went west and the vast majority of scholars have claimed that Saint Brendan arrived in Paradise even if the various texts lack evidence for it, and in several ways. I characterize this apparent Paradise in the Navigatio version as a “fake Paradise,” because it is located to the west in contrast to the long tradition of Paradise descriptions and the mappae mundi where Paradise is always situated to the east. I call the Promised Land in the vernacular Voyage version a “pseudo-Paradise” despite the Christian elements, primarily because of its location and because Saint Brendan claims that he had been there. Key words: Travel account, Saint Brendan, Paradise, Promised Land, Garden of Eden, Mappa mundi, Land of Cockaigne. Resumen Los relatos de viajes fueron el género más popular durante la Edad Media. El viajero partía 13 en todas direcciones, pero preferiblemente hacia el este, donde se creía que se localizaba el Paraíso. Éste se escondía tras un océano, una muralla de fuego o montañas inaccesibles, por lo que era inalcanzable. El viaje de San Brendano se dirigió hacia el oeste, y una amplia mayoría de especialistas ha destacado, aun sin textos que lo evidencien, que el santo llegó al Paraíso.

  • Maps and Charts
    Name:______________________________________ Maps and Charts Lab He had bought a large map representing the sea, without the least vestige of land And the crew were much pleased when they found it to be, a map they could all understand - Lewis Carroll, The Hunting of the Snark Map Projections: All maps and charts produce some degree of distortion when transferring the Earth's spherical surface to a flat piece of paper or computer screen. The ways that we deal with this distortion give us various types of map projections. Depending on the type of projection used, there may be distortion of distance, direction, shape and/or area. One type of projection may distort distances but correctly maintain directions, whereas another type may distort shape but maintain correct area. The type of information we need from a map determines which type of projection we might use. Below are two common projections among the many that exist. Can you tell what sort of distortion occurs with each projection? 1 Map Locations The latitude-longitude system is the standard system that we use to locate places on the Earth’s surface. The system uses a grid of intersecting east-west (latitude) and north-south (longitude) lines. Any point on Earth can be identified by the intersection of a line of latitude and a line of longitude. Lines of latitude: • also called “parallels” • equator = 0° latitude • increase N and S of the equator • range 0° to 90°N or 90°S Lines of longitude: • also called “meridians” • Prime Meridian = 0° longitude • increase E and W of the P.M.
