Stooke Dr. Peter E. Thompson The thesis by Lauren Beck entitled: 16th Century Religious Signs and Symbols throughout the Lands of Spain is accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Date Chair of the Thesis Examination Board ii Abstract: Maps are cultural texts that can be studied for how the cultures represented distinguish one type of space from another. Over 300 maps that emphasise religious space, with particular emphasis on heretical space, will guide this study, which focuses on the lands of Spain during the 16th Century. These territories include: Africa, the Americas, Europe and Spain. The overall goal of this work is to show how non-Catholic peoples within the lands of Spain (ie Aztecs, Protestants and Muslims) are represented as occupying heretical space at varying scales of cartographic representation (ie the chorographic view, the national map or the world map), and of text circulation (ie the manuscript map and the mass-produced Atlas). This will be facilitated by the innovation of a multi-scale model that organizes all of these primary and secondary resources. Keywords: Spain, Cartography, Signs and Symbols, Heretics, Reformation, Conquest, Reconquest, Renaissance, Religious Representation, New World, Africa, Complexity, Scale. m Table of Contents: Title page i Certificate of Examination ii Abstract iii Table of Contents iv List of Figures v Introduction 1 Chapter 1: Behind the Sign of Heresy.
