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.

  • 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.

  • 1 the Manchester Beatus
    The Beatus Maps: Manchester #207.20 The Manchester (a.k.a. Rylands) Beatus mappa mundi, ca. 1175, John Rylands Library, MS. Lat. 8, fols. 43v-44r, Manchester, England, 45.4 x 32.6 cm The Manchester Beatus. The manuscript of Beatus’ Commentary of the Apocalypse of St. John now in Manchester, England was made around the year 1175 and it is ascribed to the Spanish Burgos region, specifically to the monastery of San Pedro de Cardeña and to the region of Toledo. As a reference, this map falls into Peter Klein’s “Fourth Recension” and Wilhelm Neuss’ Family IIb stemma which consists of the following maps: • Manuscript of Tabara (970). Although its mappa mundi has not survived, as we said in reference to the manuscripts of the Commentary on the Apocalypse which contain the mappa mundi, it must have been very similar to the maps of Las Huelgas and Girona. • Mappa mundi of Girona. (975) #207.6. • Mappa mundi of Turin (first quarter of the 12th century) #207.15. • Mappa mundi of Manchester (ca. 1175) #207.20. • Mappa mundi of Las Huelgas (1220) #207.24. • Mappa mundi of San Andrés de Arroyo (ca. 200 - ca. 1248?) #207.25. 1 The Beatus Maps: Manchester #207.20 Sandra Sáenz-López Pérez has identified the following common features of this Family of Beatus mappae mundi: • The toponyms are virtually identical. Gonzalo Menendez-Pidal recognized the following as being inherent traits of these maps: the inclusion of Cappadocia and Mesopotamia, as well as the addition of the names of Gallia Belgica and Gallia Lugdunensis (instead of just the basic Gallias as shown in the maps of Family IIa).

  • Medieval Portolan Charts As Documents of Shared Cultural Spaces
    SONJA BRENTJES Medieval Portolan Charts as Documents of Shared Cultural Spaces The appearance of knowledge in one culture that was created in another culture is often understood conceptually as »transfer« or »transmission« of knowledge between those two cultures. In the field of history of science in Islamic societies, research prac- tice has focused almost exclusively on the study of texts or instruments and their trans- lations. Very few other aspects of a successful integration of knowledge have been studied as parts of transfer or transmission, among them processes such as patronage and local cooperation1. Moreover, the concept of transfer or transmission itself has primarily been understood as generating complete texts or instruments that were more or less faithfully expressed in the new host language in the same way as in the origi- nal2. The manifold reasons (beyond philological issues) for transforming knowledge of a foreign culture into something different have not usually been considered, although such an approach would enrich the conceptualization of the cross-cultural mobility of knowledge. In this paper, I will examine the cross-cultural presence of knowledge in a different manner, studying works of a specific group of people who created, copied, and modified culturally mixed objects of knowledge. My focus will be on Italian and Catalan charts and atlases of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, partly because the earliest of them are the oldest extant specimens of the genre and partly because they seem to be the richest, most diverse charts of all those extant from the Mediterranean region3. In addition, I have relied on the twelfth- century »Liber de existencia riveriarum et forma maris nostris Mediterranei«, a Latin 1 Charles BURNETT, Literal Translation and Intelligent Adaptation amongst the Arabic–Latin Translators of the First Half of the Twelfth Century, in: Biancamaria SCARCIA AMORETTI (ed.), La diffusione delle scienze islamiche nel Medio Evo Europeo, Rome 1987, p.

  • Dead Reckoning and Magnetic Declination: Unveiling the Mystery of Portolan Charts
    Joaquim Alves Gaspar * Dead reckoning and magnetic declination: unveiling the mystery of portolan charts Keywords : medieval charts; cartometric analysis; history of cartography; map projections of old charts; portolan charts Summary For more than two centuries much has been written about the origin and method of con- struction of the Mediterranean portolan charts; still these matters continue to be the object of some controversy as no one explanation was able to gather unanimous agreement among researchers. If some theory seems to prevail, that is certainly the one asserting the medieval origin of the portolan chart, which would have followed the introduction of the marine compass in the Mediterranean, when the pilots start to plot the magnetic directions and es- timated distances between ports observed at sea. In the research here presented a numerical model which simulates the construction of the old portolan charts is tested. This model was developed in the light of the navigational methods available at the time, taking into account the spatial distribution of the magnetic declination in the Mediterranean, as estimated by a geomagnetic model based on paleomagnetic data. The results are then compared with two extant charts using cartometric analysis techniques. It is concluded that this type of meth- odology might contribute to a better understanding of the geometry and methods of con- struction of the portolan charts. Also, the good agreement between the geometry of the ana- lysed charts and the model’s results clearly supports the a-priori assumptions on their meth- od of construction. Introduction The medieval portolan chart has been considered as a unique achievement in the history of maps and marine navigation, and its appearance one of the most representative turn- ing points in the development of nautical cartography.

  • Universalior Cogniti Orbis Tabula, Ex Recentibus Confecta Observationibus #313 1 Title: Universalior Cogniti Orbis Tabula, Ex Re
    Universalior Cogniti Orbis Tabula, Ex recentibus confecta observationibus #313 Title: Universalior Cogniti Orbis Tabula, Ex recentibus confecta observationibus. Date: 1507-1508 Author: Johannes Ruysch Description: In 1507, the copper plates used for the 1490 Rome edition of Ptolemy’s Geographia were reprinted, together with six new maps, either by the printer Bernard Venetus de Vitalibus or the editor Evangelista Tosinus. In addition to the new regional maps, this rare new map of the world by Johann Ruysch is sometimes found in advance of its normal appearance in the Ptolemy atlas the following year. It is not enumerated in the table of contents of the 1507 edition and it must be assumed that Ruysch’s drawing came into the engraver’s hands late in the year, just in time to be engraved and inserted into some of the copies then printed. An inscription on the map just off Taprobana refers to the voyages of the Portuguese to that area in the year 1507. This enlarged map of the known world constructed from recent discoveries, engraved on copper, is one of the earliest printed maps showing the discoveries in the new world. There had been many voyages of discovery immediately before Ruysch created his map, including: • Dias’ rounding of the horn of Africa in 1487, • the European rediscovery of Newfoundland by John Cabot in 1497 (actually a “rediscovery”, as the Norse had been to Newfoundland centuries before and settled there), • Vasco da Gama’s travel to India in 1499, • the explorations of the Caribbean and South America by Columbus (1492-93, 1493-94, 1498, 1502-04) and • visits to the Caribbean and South America by Vespucci (1499, 1501-02).
