商品描述
This open access book presents the first detailed study of one of the most important masterpieces of Renaissance cartography, Martin Waldseemüller's Carta marina of 1516. By transcribing, translating into English, and detailing the sources of all of the descriptive texts on the map, as well as the sources of many of the images, the book makes the map available to scholars in a wholly unprecedented way.
In addition, the book provides revealing insights into how Waldseemüller went about making the map -- information that can't be found in any other source. The Carta marina is the result of Waldseemüller's radical re-evaluation of what a world map should be; he essentially started from scratch when he created it, rejecting the Ptolemaic model and other sources he had used in creating his 1507 map, and added more descriptive texts and a wealth of illustrations. Given its content, the book offers an essential reference work not only on this map, but also for anyone working in sixteenth-century European cartography.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本開放存取的書籍呈現了文藝復興時期地圖製作中最重要的傑作之一，馬丁·瓦爾德塞穆勒（Martin Waldseemüller）於1516年所製作的《海圖》（Carta marina）的首次詳細研究。透過對地圖上所有描述性文本的轉錄、翻譯成英文以及詳細說明其來源，還有許多圖像的來源，這本書以全新的方式使學者能夠接觸到這張地圖。
此外，這本書提供了關於瓦爾德塞穆勒如何製作這張地圖的深刻見解——這些資訊在其他任何來源中都無法找到。《海圖》是瓦爾德塞穆勒對世界地圖應有樣貌的徹底重新評估的結果；他在創作時幾乎是從零開始，拒絕了托勒密模型及他在創作1507年地圖時所使用的其他來源，並增加了更多的描述性文本和豐富的插圖。鑒於其內容，這本書不僅是這張地圖的重要參考資料，也是任何從事十六世紀歐洲地圖製作的人士的必備參考書。
作者簡介
Chet Van Duzer is a Researcher in Residence at the John Carter Brown Library and a board member of the Lazarus Project at the University of Rochester, which brings multispectral imaging to cultural institutions around the world. He has published extensively on medieval and Renaissance maps; in 2018 his book Henricus Martellus's World Map at Yale (c. 1491): Multispectral Imaging, Sources, and Influence was published by Springer. His recent NEH-Mellon project at the Library of Congress was a study of the annotations in a heavily annotated copy of the 1525 edition of Ptolemy's Geography; and last year he completed a David Rumsey Research Fellowship at Stanford and the John Carter Brown Library studying Urbano Monte's manuscript world map of 1587. His current project is a book about cartographic cartouches.
