Imago Mundi is the only English-language scholarly periodical devoted exclusively to the history of pre-modern maps, mapping, and map-related ideas from anywhere in the world. It was founded in Berlin in 1935 by the Russian émigré Leo Bagrow as an annual publication, although only five volumes appeared between 1935 and 1948. From 1975 to 2003 publication was regular. In 2004 Imago Mundi became a biannual publication. The first volume was in German. Thereafter English was used with, very occasionally, French. After 2002 (volume 54) Imago Mundi publishes exclusively in English with foreign language abstracts (currently French, German, and Spanish). A multi-disciplinary approach was adopted in 1995. All articles represent original research, are refereed, and are well illustrated (recent volumes have included color plates). Since 1977 each volume has contained a full complement of scholarly aids in the form of book reviews, bibliography, and chronicles, all of which have made Imago Mundi a valuable journal of record as well as scholarship.

"When does a depiction of the moon become a lunar map? This publication addresses this question from theoretical and historical standpoints. It is argued that moon maps are of crucial importance to the history of cartography, for they challenge established notions of what a map is, how it functions, what its purposes are, and what kind of power it embodies and performs. The publication also shows how terrestrial cartography has shaped the history of lunar mapping since the seventeenth century, through visual and nomenclature conventions, the cultural currency of maps, mapmakers' social standing, and data-gathering and projection practices. It further demonstrates that lunar cartography has also been organized by an internal principle that is born of the fundamental problem of how to create static map spaces capable of representing a referent that is constantly changing to our eyes, as is the visible face of the moon. It is suggested that moon maps may be classed in three broad categories, according to the kinds of solutions for this representational problem that have been devised over the last 400 years".

Chef-d'œuvre de la cartographie du siècle baroque, l'Atlas maior a été publié entre 1662 et 1665 par l'éditeur amstellodamois Joan Blaeu, l'un des plus éminents cartographes hollandais. Paru à l'origine en latin, l'atlas comprenait 594 cartes réunies en 11 volumes et montrait la totalité du monde connu à cette époque. Ce livre fut le plus complet et le plus cher du XVIe siècle. Atlas mondial de référence pendant plus d'un siècle, il est devenu très rare aujourd'hui et compte parmi les ouvrages les plus précieux et les plus recherchés. La réimpression par TASCHEN de cet atlas en six volumes est basée sur l'exemplaire colorié et doré à l'or fin de la Bibliothèque nationale d'Autriche à Vienne, ce qui assure la meilleure précision et qualité possibles. Outre les citations originales de Joan Blaeu concernant les différentes cartes, un texte inédit de Peter van der Krogt explique le contexte historique et culturel tout en conduisant le lecteur dans le monde fascinant de la cartographie du début des Temps modernes. Le volume intitulé " Gallia " comprend les 64 cartes de la France accompagnées de textes en français, en anglais et en allemand. "Anglia, Scotia et Hibernia" rassemble les 58 cartes de l'Angleterre, 55 cartes de l'Écosse et de l'Irlande, et des textes en anglais, en français et en allemand. "Germania, Austria et Helvetia" présente les 97 cartes de la Germanie, 20 cartes de l'Autriche et 7 cartes de la Suisse et des textes en allemand, en anglais et en français. Le volume "Italia" comporte les 60 cartes de l'Italie et des textes en italien, en anglais, en allemand. "Belgica Regia et Belgica Foederata" rassemble les 63 cartes de la Belgique et des Pays-Bas et des textes en hollandais, en français et en anglais. Le sixième volume "Hispania, Portugallia, Africa et America" comprend les 28 cartes de l'Espagne et du Portugal, ainsi que 13 cartes de l'Afrique et 23 cartes de l'Amérique : les textes sont en espagnol, en anglais et en portugais."--[Amazon.com]

Mountains appear in the oldest known maps yet their representation has proven a notoriously difficult challenge for map makers. In this essay, Ernesto Capello surveys the broad history of relief representation in cartography with an emphasis on the allegorical, commercial and political uses of mapping mountains. After an initial overview and critique of the traditional historiography and development of techniques of relief representation, the essay features four clusters of mountain mapping emphases. These include visions of mountains as paradise, the mountain as site of colonial and postcolonial encounter, the development of elevation profiles and panoramas, and mountains as mass-marketed touristed itineraries.

Si la production cartographique se diversifie au cours des xviie et xixe siècles, les usages des cartes font de même : usages administratifs, savants, mais aussi démonstratifs, rhétoriques, etc., les uns n'excluant évidemment pas les autres. C'est en traitant de front les opérations techniques de production des cartes et les pratiques de leur consultation que les auteurs de cet ouvrage proposent d'aborder l'histoire de la cartographie. Cette approche pragmatique permet de se démarquer du « paradigme empirique » de l'histoire de la cartographie. Elle souligne qu'une carte offre des images du territoire variables selon la communauté d'usagers à qui elle est destinée.
