Giants, cannibals and other monsters were a regular feature of Renaissance illustrated maps, inhabiting the Americas alongside other indigenous peoples. In a new approach to views of distant peoples, Surekha Davies analyzes this archive alongside prints, costume books and geographical writing. Using sources from Iberia, France, the German lands, the Low Countries, Italy and England, Davies argues that mapmakers and viewers saw these maps as careful syntheses that enabled viewers to compare different peoples. In an age when scholars, missionaries, native peoples and colonial officials debated whether New World inhabitants could - or should - be converted or enslaved, maps were uniquely suited for assessing the impact of environment on bodies and temperaments. Through innovative interdisciplinary methods connecting the European Renaissance to the Atlantic world, Davies uses new sources and questions to explore science as a visual pursuit, revealing how debates about the relationship between humans and monstrous peoples challenged colonial expansion.

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.

Se è vero che la Forma Vrbis Marmorea di età severiana (inizio III sec.) continua ad essere la « forma » per eccellenza, ciò è dovuto, soprattutto, alla sua consistenza fisica (centinaia di frammenti che definiscono buona parte della topografia urbana) ; ma non è meno vero che frammenti minori di altre mappe, dall’origine e scopi diversi (sostanzialmente amministrativi), siano arrivati fino a noi, apportando nuovi dati tecnici ed interrogativi non sempre facilmente risolvibili. Negli ultimi vent’anni, alcuni di essi sono venuti alla luce nei più svariati contesti archeologici urbani, evidenziando quanto questa prassi cartografica fosse diffusa per ragioni soprattutto catastali e amministrative. Una osservazione fondamentale che scaturisce da questi documenti « minori » consiste nel fatto che attraverso di essi si intuisce un sistema cartografico riconducibile ad Augusto e alla sua opera di rinnovamento amministrativo della città. Una analisi comparativa di una certa ampiezza di tutti questi documenti viene ora tentata in modo esplorativo, ivi compresi i documenti grafici relativi a certi servizi come gli acquedotti extraurbani nella loro funzione di irrigazione dei fondi rustici. Come e fino a che punto questi documenti cartografici di grande impegno e, a volte, raffinatezza, dipendano da uno studio su base trigonometrica e, forse, astronomico-proiettiva, è uno degli aspetti più affascinanti e meno esplorati che attendono dagli studiosi nuove osservazioni ed approfondimenti.

Les quatre textes publiés dans ce volume concernent deux périodes importantes pour la cartographie française, la Renaissance et le Siècle des lumières, qui ont posé des règles pour la mesure et la description du territoire. Ces deux activités ont été pratiquées par des hommes de formations diverses – mathématiciens, ingénieurs, peintres, géographes – dont les talents étaient parfois concurrents et souvent complémentaires. Les uns ont proposé des méthodes dans le cadre de prestigieuses institutions comme le Collège royal (actuel Collège de France), l'Académie des sciences ou l'Académie de marine. D'autres étaient plus directement confrontés au terrain qu'ils devaient décrire pour différentes catégories d'usagers : juges, administrateurs, militaires, navigateurs, historiens, etc. Toutefois les uns et les autres ont œuvré, directement ou indirectement, pour le pouvoir royal, maître non seulement de la cartographie de la France, mais encore de la description du monde. Certes, le contrôle exercé par ce pouvoir et l'intérêt manifesté par les rois et leurs ministres ont pu favoriser les progrès de la cartographie et encourager la publication de documents illustrant les actions glorieuses du monarque et la grandeur de la France, mais ils ont aussi restreint la diffusion de certaines cartes dont l'importance stratégique était évidente. Même s'ils ne sont pas toujours apparents, les objectifs poursuivis par les cartographes et le mode d'utilisation de leurs productions sont toujours pris en considération dans ces quatre études, et ce indépendamment de la date de production des documents.
