Abstract

Since its launch in 1987, the History of Cartography series has garnered critical acclaim and sparked a new generation of interdisciplinary scholarship. Cartography in the European Enlightenment, the highly anticipated fourth volume, offers a comprehensive overview of the cartographic practices of Europeans, Russians, and the Ottomans, both at home and in overseas territories, from 1650 to 1800. The social and intellectual changes that swept Enlightenment Europe also transformed many of its mapmaking practices. A new emphasis on geometric principles gave rise to improved tools for measuring and mapping the world, even as large-scale cartographic projects became possible under the aegis of powerful states. Yet older mapping practices persisted: Enlightenment cartography encompassed a wide variety of processes for making, circulating, and using maps of different types. The volume’s more than four hundred encyclopedic articles explore the era’s mapping, covering topics both detailed—such as geodetic surveying, thematic mapping, and map collecting—and broad, such as women and cartography, cartography and the economy, and the art and design of maps. Copious bibliographical references and nearly one thousand full-color illustrations complement the detailed entries.

Abstract

Sans équivalent au monde, les grands globes peints que le cosmographe vénitien Vincerrao Coronelli réalisa pour Louis XIV à la demande du cardinal d'Estrées n'ont cessé, depuis leur création en 1683, de fasciner par leurs dimensions -quatre mètres de diamètre, deux tonnes chacun et par la qualité de leurs peintures. Hymne à la gloire du Roi identifié au Soleil qui éclaire le monde, le globe terrestre, fourmillant de détails exotiques et d'inscriptions, est à rattacher aux efforts de Colbert pour étendre le champ du commerce extérieur de la France en la dotant notamment d'une marine et d'une cartographie ; le globe céleste, d'un bleu profond, qui recompose, sous le pinceau des meilleurs peintres, les constellations telles qu'elles étaient en septembre 1638 au jour de la naissance de Louis XIV est l'une; des plus belles encyclopédies des astres. Depuis leur création jusqu'à leur réinstallation à la Bibliothèque nationale de France, dans son site de Tolbiac, ces gigantesques sphères n'ont cessé d'être déplacées, montées démontées mises en caisses, exposées dans divers bâtiments tant à Marl, Versailles et Paris, parfois pour quelques mois seulement. Exposés au public, ces chefs-d'œuvre de la cartographie baroque qui nous permettent de contempler le monde tel qu'il s'offrait à la lin du XVIIe siècle vont enfin pouvoir donner lieu aux recherches qu'ils méritent dans bous les domaines de l'histoire des sciences et de l'histoire de l'art. Voici, remarquablement illustrée, une visite savante et savoureuse, guidée par Hélène Richard, directeur du département des Cartes et Plans de la BNF, qui veille sur ces précieux présents royaux.

Abstract

A quiet revolution in knowledge separated the early modern period in Japan from all previous time. After 1600, self-appointed investigators used the model of the land and cartographic surveys of the newly unified state to observe and order subjects such as agronomy, medicine, gastronomy, commerce, travel, and entertainment. They subsequently circulated their findings through a variety of commercially printed texts: maps, gazetteers, family encyclopedias, urban directories, travel guides, official personnel rosters, and instruction manuals for everything from farming to lovemaking. In this original and gracefully written book, Mary Elizabeth Berry considers the social processes that drove the information explosion of the 1600's. Inviting readers to examine the contours and meanings of this transformation, Berry provides a fascinating account of the conversion of the public from an object of state surveillance into a subject of self-knowledge. Japan in Print shows how, as investigators collected and disseminated richly diverse data, they came to presume in their audience a standard of cultural literacy that changed anonymous consumers into an "us" bound by common frames of reference. This shared space of knowledge made society visible to itself and in the process subverted notions of status hierarchy. Berry demonstrates that the new public texts projected a national collectivity characterized by universal access to markets, mobility, sociability, and self-fashioning.
