"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".

In de zestiende eeuw ontdekt de westerse mens de wereld. De topografie beleeft in die periode een ongekende bloei. Gedreven door nieuwsgierigheid en zich goed bewust van de mercantiele voordelen brengen onder anderen Gerard Mercator en Abraham Ortelius de wereld in kaart. Terwijl zij landen aan de hand van nauwkeurige opmetingen in overzichtelijke kaarten vertalen, kiest de Italiaan Lodovico Guicciardini (1521-1594) voor het woord. In zijn magnum opus, Descrittione di tutti i Paesi Bassi (Beschrijving van de Nederlanden) uit 1588, beschrijft hij letterlijk ‘de hele Nederlanden’. Niets van zijn nieuwe thuisland ontsnapt aan het scherpe oog of de zin voor volledigheid van deze Florentijnse edelman. Niet alleen is de Descrittione daarom een levenswerk om u tegen te zeggen, het was zowel in de zestiende eeuw als vandaag een ontzagwekkende bron van informatie over de Lage Landen.
