Abstract

Cartographical innovations is intended as a reference book for all those working in the history of cartography and also for modern cartographers who may be interested to see that many of the techniques employed today originated decades, and sometimes centuries earlier than is generally thought. The book includes information about when processes and techniques began, when materials were first used, and in general indicates on a world-wide scale the main points of advancement in the science and art of cartography. For each term a definition is given, followed by the main facts in the history of the innovation, or technique and completed by a bibliography.

Abstract

The atlas includes 191 prints on 164 'paper units'. The absolute scientific highlight of the present atlas are the 15 historical maps, which are unrecorded zo far. A first group is formed by four maps to illustrate an edition of Ptolemy's Geography in the Italian language. A second set consists of eleven historical maps, forming a fragmentary series to illustrate an Italian edition of the 17 books of the Geography by the Greek Strabo (c. 63 BC - 19 AD).
