Abstract

Le XVIe siècle a été marqué par le développement de pratiques méditatives héritées de l'antiquité et du Moyen Âge et relevant de la tradition des exercices spirituels. Ces pratiques méditatives mobilisaient la géographie et la cosmographie : la considération des cartes et des globes en constituait un moment décisif. Ce livre définit le genre de la "méditation cosmographique", en posant plusieurs questions. Quels objets utilisa-t-on comme support pour la méditation cosmographique? Quelles formes littéraires et iconographiques adopta-t-on pour la mise en oeuvre et le développement de la méditation cosmographique? Quels étaient les destinataires, et les destinations (morales, métaphysiques, spirituelles) de ces méditations? Quels étaient les enjeux contextuels, politiques et religieux de ces pratiques à la fois savantes et philosophiques?

Abstract

Acquired by the Bodleian Library in 2002, the Book of Curiosities is now recognized as one of the most important discoveries in the history of cartography in recent decades. This eleventh-century Arabic treatise, composed in Egypt under the Fatimid caliphs, is a detailed account of the heavens and the Earth, illustrated by an unparalleled series of maps and astronomical diagrams. With topics ranging from comets to the island of Sicily, from lunar mansions to the sources of the Nile, it represents the extent of geographical, astronomical and astrological knowledge of the time. This authoritative edition and translation, accompanied by a colour facsimile reproduction, opens a unique window onto the worldview of medieval Islam. An extensive glossary of star-names and seven indices, on birds, animals and other items have been added for easy reference.
