Redeeming the Truth
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Redeeming the Truth: Robert Morden and the Marketing of Authority in Early World Atlases A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Laura Suzanne York 2013 © Copyright by Laura Suzanne York 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Redeeming the Truth: Robert Morden and the Marketing of Authority in Early World Atlases by Laura Suzanne York Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Muriel C. McClendon, Chair By its very nature as a “book of the world”—a product simultaneously artistic and intellectual—the world atlas of the seventeenth century promoted a totalizing global view designed to inform, educate, and delight readers by describing the entire world through science and imagination, mathematics and wonder. Yet early modern atlas makers faced two important challenges to commercial success. First, there were many similar products available from competitors at home and abroad. Secondly, they faced consumer skepticism about the authority of any work claiming to describe the entire world, in the period before standards of publishing credibility were established, and before the transition from trust in premodern geographic authorities to trust in modern authorities was complete. ii This study argues that commercial world atlas compilers of London and Paris strove to meet these challenges through marketing strategies of authorial self-presentation designed to promote their authority to create a trustworthy world atlas. It identifies and examines several key personas that, deployed through atlas texts and portraits, together formed a self-presentation asserting the atlas producer’s cultural authority. -

The Most Beautiful Book Ever Published on the Constellations
The most beautiful book ever published on the constellations Andreas Cellarius. Harmonia macrocosmica, seu Atlas universalis et novus. Amsterdam: Jan Jansson, 1661. 20 7/8 inches x 13 inches (530 x 330 mm), 364 pages, engraved and colored title page, 29 hand-colored plates. The seventeenth century was the Golden Age of Dutch cartography, in which the availability of large copperplates, superb draftsmanship, and immaculate coloring were combined with a period exuberance of detail—for winds, anchors, and a compass rose were more important to a map’s effect than many a minor inland town. The earth and sea in that nautical era were the chief subjects of attention; the celestial atlas remained a rarity. Cellarius’ Harmonia macrocosmica, however, has claims to be the most beautiful book ever published on the constellations, with delineations not only of the zodiac but the different cosmological systems of Ptolemy, Copernicus, and Tycho Brahe. Cellarius himself remains a shadowy figure, but he was most likely a German or a Pole as his name suggests — it is a Latinization of Keller or Kellner. Cellarius produced an atlas of Poland and Lithuania in 1652, and at the time of publication of Harmonia macrocosmica was rector of the Latin School at Hoorn, roughly twenty miles north of Amsterdam. The plates are brilliantly colored, highlighted in gold, with all the baroque trimmings. What space remains after a celestial hemisphere has been imposed on a huge rectangular sheet is filled to overflowing with banners, clouds, diagrams, mythological figures, portraits of astronomers and their observatories, or cherubs playing with sextants and telescopes. -
Cuatro Siglos De Historia De La Cartografía En La Biblioteca De La Universidad De Sevilla Joaquín Cortés José. Departamento
Cuatro siglos de historia de la cartografía en la Biblioteca de la Universidad de Sevilla Joaquín Cortés José. Departamento de Cartoteca, Instituto de Cartografia de Andalucía. Eduardo Peñalver Gómez. Fondo Antiguo y Archivo Histórico, Biblioteca de la Universidad de Sevilla. El fondo antiguo de la Biblioteca de la Universidad de Sevilla está formado por una amplia colección de libros de los siglos XV al XIX que ha ido formándose a lo largo de los cinco siglos de historia de la Universidad, a partir de un primer núcleo original constituido por la librería del Colegio de Santa María de Jesús, con los libros donados por su fundador, Maese Rodrigo Fernández de Santaella, en los primeros años del siglo XVI. Desde la misma fundación el fondo de lo que acabaría siendo la Biblioteca de la Universidad de Sevilla no ha dejado de enriquecerse, sin duda con gran lentitud en los siglos XVI y XVII, y a mucho mayor ritmo en las dos centurias siguientes. A modo de primera aproximación a los origenes de los fondos de la biblioteca, cabe distinguir, sin ánimo de exhaustividad, las siguientes procedencias: a) Adquisiciones realizadas por el Colegio de Santa María de Jesús y la Universidad de Sevilla (ambas instituciones se separaron en 1776), muy escasas al menos hasta el siglo XIX. b) Donaciones de antiguos colegiales ñla mayoría en forma de aportaciones dinerarias--, entre las que destaca la muy notable realizada por el cardenal Luis Belluga, de tales dimensiones que obligó a hacer una ampliación de la biblioteca. c) Donaciones de personajes de relevancia en la historia de Sevilla ñcasos de Lorenzo Domínguez Pascual, Manuel Andérica, José María Valdenebro, Pedro Sáinz de Andino, Joaquín Hazañas, Alejandro Guichot, Luis y Santiago Montoto, etc. -

This decorative celestial chart is based on the theories of the 3rd century Greek astronomer, Aratus, in which the Earth is at the center of the celestial universe with the Sun and Moon orbiting around it. The orbits of the planets are shown with the twelve signs of the zodiac and their human representations depicted around the edge of the sphere, with additional illustrations of principal Greek gods and goddesses. Aratus's most famous work was his hexameter poem Phaenomena. The first part of the poem is a verse setting of a lost work of the same name by Eudoxus of Cnidus. It describes the constellations and other celestial phenomena. The second half is called the Diosemeia, and is chiefly about weather lore. Although Aratus was somewhat ignorant of Greek astronomy, his poem was very popular in the Greek and Roman world. Andreas Cellarius was born in 1596 in Neuhausen and educated in Heidelberg. He emigrated to Holland in the early 17th Century and 1637 moved to Hoorn, where he became the rector of the Latin School. -

The stars are heighten in gold. An exceptionally decorative, oversized, very rare celestial chart, produced by Frederik de Wit illustrating the two hemispheres surrounded by six supplementary models, illustrating the Copernican hypothesis, the Ptolemaic hypothesis, the Tycho Brahe hypothesis, the phases of the moon relative to the Sun, the rotational pattern of the day, and the rotation pattern of the Moon around the Earth. Each major hemisphere is centered on the elliptic pole and rendered on a polar stereographic projection with an external orientation. The constellations are drawn and colored to emphasize the signs of the Zodiac and other famous constellations. De Wit's illustration of the constellations is clearly derived from the celestial hemispheres appearing as supplementary material on Joan Blaeu's 1658 wall map of the world (Shirley 371). This is the first of two states. The later state bears the imprint of Covens & Mortier. Rarity OCLC locates 3 institutional examples of the map.

Qui n’a jamais entendu parler de la Grande Ourse ou observé la casserole dans le ciel ? Qui ne s’est jamais posé la question de la signification de ces figures, qu’on appelle « constellations », illustrant le ciel nocturne ? En fait d’explication, il n’y en a qu’une : ces figures sont le fruit du hasard, de notre position dans l’espace, de notre vision du ciel en 2 dimensions et surtout de notre imagination … 4 OrigineOrigine desdes nomsnoms L'origine des noms de nos constellations est très ancienne. On a retrouvé en Arménie sur des dalles datant du 4e millénaire avant notre ère des représentations du Cygne, du Taureau ou du Lion. Les Babyloniens utilisaient déjà une bonne partie des constellations attribuées ensuite aux Grecs, en particulier celles du zodiaque. 5 On retrouve l’origine des constellations peu de temps après l’apparition de l’écriture, puisque des symboles cunéiformes représentant ces constellations ont été décelés sur des textes et des objets de civilisations aujourd’hui disparues, situées dans la vallée de l’Euphrate, il y a plus de 5 000 ans … Toutefois, il faudra attendre le IIème siècle ap. J-C. pour que l’astronome Grec Ptolémée procède à un découpage du ciel sur 1022 étoiles groupées en 48 constellations. Les constellations étaient ainsi la plupart du temps apparentées à des animaux ou figures mythologiques, dont l’utilité était aussi bien ésotérique (astrologie) que géographique, cartographique ou calendaire. -
“Peces En El Cielo” ¿Por Qué Hay Constelaciones Con Nombres De Animales Marinos?
MUSEO DE LA CIENCIA Y EL COSMOS Organismo Autónomo de Museos y Centros del Cabildo Insular de Tenerife “Peces en el cielo” ¿Por qué hay constelaciones con nombres de animales marinos? Por Carmen del Puerto Varela, directora del Museo de la Ciencia y el Cosmos, y Oswaldo González Sánchez, responsable de Didáctica del Museo. La luz artificial y otros factores de contaminación medioambiental en las ciudades impiden hoy disfrutar de la belleza de una noche estrellada. Pero, en la antigüedad, la presencia nocturna de las estrellas era tan manifiesta que inevitablemente los pueblos de entonces habían de establecer vínculos con ellas. Las diferentes culturas creyeron o quisieron ver dibujado en el cielo a sus héroes mitológicos y sus leyendas. Después, entre los siglos XVI y XVIII, fue el exotismo de los Mares del Sur, como resultado de los grandes viajes de exploración alrededor del mundo, el que se vio reflejado en el cielo. Y de dividir el firmamento en elementos pictóricos a lo largo de la Historia surgieron las llamadas “Constelaciones”. Mapa de los hemisferios celestes de 1680. Foto: Frederick de Wit/Fine Art Photographic/Getty Images) 1 Una constelación es una agrupación aparente de estrellas: aunque parecen hallarse en el mismo plano, en realidad se encuentran a diferentes distancias sin que necesariamente exista relación entre ellas. Por convenio, hoy es cada una de las 88 áreas en que se divide el cielo así como el grupo de estrellas que contienen. Sin embargo, a lo largo de la Historia, el número total de constelaciones y el área que ocupaban variaban según el autor que catalogaba las estrellas. -
308 the Visitor Was Confronted with a Dazzling Succession of Maps And
308 the visitor was confronted with a dazzling succession of maps and atlases, all of them, in their genre, masterpieces of cartography: sixteenth-century work by, for example, Saenredam, Plancius, Langenes and Heyns; from the seventeenth century, when Am- sterdam map production was at its height, the main exhibits were naturally products of the great houses of Blaeu, Hondius andjanssonius, though there were also pieces by Claes Jansz Visscher, Jacob Aertsz Colom and Pieter van der Keere. Joan Blaeu's Atlas maior, varying according to the edition from nine to twelve volumes, was represented by volumes from the Latin, French, Dutch, Spanish and German editions. There were also two extremely rare world maps by Frederik de Wit, Nova et accurata totius Africae tabula of 1700, each measuring no less than 168 by 120 cm. The eighteenth century was represented by, among other items, work by the map dealers and publishers Covens and Mortier and Reinier and Joshua Ottens. But it was clear that by this time the golden age of Amsterdam mapmaking had passed: the accent was now more obviously on copy- ing and compiling than on creative cartography. In the nineteenth century mapmaking passed more and more into the hands of government agencies, while the technology of map reproduction altered with the disappearance of copper engraving in favour of the faster and cheaper lithography. The ownership of maps and atlases-now based on in- creasingly accurate scientific work-moved into the province of the broad masses of the population. The exhibition included numerous examples of all these developments, with a number of original surveying instruments, manuscript maps and copper plates of maps providing the finishing touches.
