Baumgärtner ___________________________________________________________________________ Burchard of Mount Sion and the Holy Land By Ingrid Baumgärtner, Universität Kassel The Holy Land has always played an important role in the imagination of the Latin Christian Middle Ages. As a multi-functional contact zone between Europe and Asia, it served as a region of diverse interactions between the three Abrahamic religions, was a destination for pilgrims, and a place where many disputes over territory took place. The armed crusades of 1099 by the Latin Christians led to the formation of the crusader states, which fell again after the final loss of Jerusalem in 1244 and the fall of Acre in 1291 to the Mamluk sultan al-Ashraf Khalil. Seizures and loss of territory resulted in the production of hundreds of travel and crusade accounts, as well as some of the first 1 regional maps created in Europe for precisely this part of the world.

  • 1. Cartography: the Development and Critique of Maps and Mapmaking
    1. Cartography: the development and critique of maps and mapmaking Maps ‘are once again in the thick of it’ for critical social theorists, artists, literary critics and cultural geographers, but also in a very different way for planners, GIS researchers and scientists. Art and science offer different cartographic explanations. There are profound differences between those who research mapping as a practical form of applied knowledge, and those who seek to critique the map and the mapping process. (Perkins 2003: 341-342) Cartography is the study of maps and map-making. Classically, it focused on the art of the map-maker; today it includes the history of maps and their use in society. A map, as defined by the International Cartographic Association (2009), is ‘a symbolised image of geographical reality, representing selected features or characteristics, resulting from the creative effort of its author's execution of choices, and is designed for use when spatial relationships are of primary relevance’. While this definition eloquently indicates the varying constructions of maps, leading to the different ways maps are conceptualised and produced within society, its basic premise -- that a map is first and foremost ‘a symbolised image of a geographical reality’ -- has been challenged with the rise of a critical cartography/geography. Taking this definition as a starting premise, this chapter will seek to illustrate the ‘creativity’ and ‘selectivity’ of maps through a brief history of cartography, before embarking in later sections on a more critical analysis of the debates that surround the subject. The primary goal here is to understand the lessons that can be drawn from the historical development of cartography in a bid to assist contemporary criminologists in the development of more appropriate questions about maps and ultimately the process of crime mapping itself.

  • 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.

  • 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].

And this year was no exception. Different divisions of the Australasian Hydrographic Society organised events as befitted the occasion. In Perth the WA Region had a guided tour of the Journeys of Enlightenment exhibition at the Maritime Museum, followed by a lecture on the “Mapping the Coast” database. In New Zealand a seminar and dinner were held. Similarly, the Eastern Australian Region conducted a seminar at the Royal Automobile Club in Sydney, which was followed by a dinner. Rupert Gerritsen accepts the Literary Achievement Award on behalf of Associate Professor Bill Richardson. I, as Chair of the Australia on the Map Division, attended the Sydney event. The Royal Automobile Club is a grand old building, well suited to the occasion. The theme of the day-long seminar was “Taking Stock of the Industry”.

  • The Nautical Atlases of Calī Al-Sharafī of Sfax
    The Nautical Atlases of cAlī al-Sharafī Mónica Herrera-Casais Key-words: cAlī al-Sharafī, Sharafī family, Maghrebi and Andalusian chartmakers (A¬mad al-Æanjī, Ibrāhīm al-Mursī and A¬mad al-Andalusī), Majorcan sources, nautical atlas, Ðabla (tabula), sea chart of the world, jughrāfiyā, al-Idrīsī’s Geography, coastal place names, wind network, dry point, pomegranate, moriscos. Abstract The two extant atlases of the 16th-century Tunisian chartmaker and scholar cAlī al-Sharafī are indispensable documents for understanding the history and development of Maghrebi nautical cartography. They provide precious information on al-Sharafī’s chartmaking techniques, production and sources, which include the output of his own family and the atlas of a certain A¬mad al-Andalusī who had settled in Istanbul. The making, contents and characteristics of the atlases are examined in connection with the Maghrebi and Majorcan traditions of nautical cartography which positively influenced al-Sharafī’s compilation of coastal place names. This is explained by the circulation of such cartography across the Mediterranean of his time. Further questions are also raised on the working conditions in which Maghrebi and Andalusian chartmakers flourished and the impact of their legacy. Contents I.
