Autore/descrizione

Al Idrisi

La delizia di chi desidera attraversare la terra ( arabo: نزهة المشتاق في اختراق الآفاق, Nuzhat al-mushtāq fi'khtirāq al-āfāq), generalmente detto Libro di re Ruggero (arabo: كتاب روجر, Kitab Rugar), è una descrizione del mondo scritta dal geografo arabo al Idrisi nel 1154, cui è allegato il mappamondo in 70 fogli noto come Tabula Rogeriana. Al-Idrisi lavorò sul testo e sulla carta geografica per quindici anni alla corte del re normanno Ruggero II di Sicilia che gli aveva commissionato l'opera intorno al 1138·

Il libro, scritto in arabo, segue la divisione in sette zone climatiche (secondo il sistema stabilito da Tolomeo), ognuna ulteriormente suddivisa in dieci sezioni, e contiene delle carte geografiche che mostrano il mondo allora conosciuto: l'Europa, l'Asia quasi per intero, e l'Africa a nord dell'equatore. La carta è orientata con il sud in alto ed il nord in basso. La Tabula Rogeriana è rimasta il mappamondo più preciso per tre secoli. Il testo riprende la descrizione della situazione fisica, culturale, politica e socio-economica di ciascuna regione e ciascuna delle settanta sezioni ha una cartina corrispondente. Per elaborare la sua opera al-Idrisi interrogò, individualmente o a gruppi, viaggiatori esperti a proposito delle loro conoscenze del mondo. Nel libro inserì tuttavia solo le notizie su cui c'era accordo completo e perciò ritenute credibili, omise invece ciò su cui vi fosse disaccordo.

L'esemplare destinato a Ruggero era inciso su di un disco d'argento pesante circa trecento libbre. Esso è andato perduto perché fuso dopo esser stato predato in occasione d'una sommossa contro il sovrano normanno Guglielmo I di Sicilia nel marzo 1161. L'originale del mappamondo era inciso su di una lastra d'argento larga 3,32 metri ed alta 1,48, anch'esso perduto.

Oggi sopravvivono dieci manoscritti della Tabula Rogeriana, di cui cinque hanno il testo completo e otto hanno le carte. Due di essi si trovano alla Bibliothèque nationale de France, la più antica delle quali è datata circa 1325 (MS Arabe 2221). Un'altra copia, fatta al Cairo nel 1553, si trova alla Bodleian Library di Oxford (Mss. Pococke 375) che la comprò nel 1692. Il manoscritto più completo, che contiene la totalità del testo, il mappamondo, nonché tutte le settanta carte delle sezioni, è conservato ad Istanbul[4]. Altre copie si trovano al Cairo ed a San Pietroburgo.

Author: Ptolemy, 2nd century

Title in Original Language:

Clavdii Ptholemei Alexandrini philosophi Cosmographia

Description: Claudius Ptolemaeus (circa 100–circa 170), known as Ptolemy, was an astronomer, mathematician, and geographer of Greek descent who lived and worked in the Egyptian city of Alexandria. In his Geography, Ptolemy gathered all the geographic knowledge possessed by the Greco-Roman world. He used a system of grid lines to plot the latitude and longitude of some 8,000 places on a map that encompassed the known world at the height of the Roman Empire. Ptolemy’s work was lost to Europe in the Middle Ages, but around 1300 Byzantine scholars began introducing copies of his maps and writings into Italy. In 1406, the Italian Jacopo d’Angelo translated the original into Latin. The first printed edition appeared in Rome in 1477, followed a year later by the edition presented here, which contains some of the earliest and finest printed copper engravings. The engravings were begun in Rome by the German Konrad Sweynheym, who, with his partner Arnold Pannartz, founded the first Italian press at Subiaco in 1465. Sweynheym died in 1477, and the engravings and the publication were completed by Arnold Buckinck. The work contains 27 maps, each printed on two separate, facing leaves. Ptolemy’s Geography included major inaccuracies, attributable in part to his miscalculating the size of the Earth, which he believed was smaller than it is. One effect of this miscalculation was to cause Columbus to underestimate the time it would take to reach what he thought was Asia by sailing westward. European explorers gradually completed and corrected Ptolemy’s maps, but the ancient geographer’s methods remained important as a basis for modern cartographic practice.

Title: Portolan Chart (Old World)

Description:  Among the geographic manuscripts in the Bavarian State Library is a series of the most important portolan charts that have come down to the present. These charts consist of a single piece of sheepskin with part of the sheep’s neck, showing the outlines of the continents and the names of coastal settlements. The maps include several rose compasses and show landmarks, the distances between which could be determined using a pair of dividers. The maps were an important navigational aid to mariners. The holes in the parchment reveal the points where the chart was fastened to a mast or desk. This precious portolan chart of the Old World from around 1505 was made in Italy, which produced, in Genoa and Venice, two important schools of 16th-century geographers. The map was transferred to the Bavarian State Library from the Cistercian monastery of Aldersbach. It is extraordinary for the precise and detailed knowledge of the mountain chain from Spain to the Urals that it reflects, and for its portrayal of the regions of Africa and Asia, whose exotic masters are depicted along with their surnames. The texts accompanying the chart begin with capital letters and underline the importance of the pilgrimage cities of Jerusalem and Mecca.

Date Created: Around 1505 CE

Cartographer: Pirî Reis, (Gallipoli, tra il 1465 e il 1470 – Il Cairo, 1553-4)

Title: Book on Navigation -

Description: Originally composed in 1525 and dedicated to Sultan Süleyman I (the Magnificent), this great work by Piri Reis (died circa 1555) on navigation was later revised and expanded. Born in about 1470 in Gelibolu (Gallipoli), Piri Reis became an Ottoman admiral, geographer, and cartographer. The present manuscript, made mostly in the late 17th century, is based on the later expanded version and has some 240 exquisitely executed maps and portolan charts. They include a world map with the outline of the Americas (folio 41a) and maps of coastlines, with bays, capes, and peninsulas; islands; mountains; and cities of the Mediterranean basin and the Black Sea. The work starts with a description of the coastline of Anatolia and the islands of the Aegean Sea, the Peloponnese peninsula, and the eastern and western coasts of the Adriatic Sea. It then proceeds to describe the western shores of Italy, southern France, Spain, and North Africa; the eastern Mediterranean; western Anatolia; various islands north of Crete; the Sea of Marmara; the Bosporus; and the Black Sea. The book ends with a map of the shores of the Caspian Sea, on folio 374a.

Cartographer: Agnese, Battista, 1514-1564

Title: Atlas of Battista Agnese

Description: Battista Agnese (circa 1500–1564) was an Italian cartographer, born in Genoa, who worked in Venice between 1536 and 1564 and became one of the most important figures in Renaissance cartography. He created approximately 100 manuscript atlases, of which more than 70 are extant, either with his signature or attributed to his school. His atlases, which are considered works of art for their high quality and beauty, are mostly portolan, or nautical, atlases printed on vellum for high-ranking officials or wealthy merchants. This 1544 atlas contains 15 full-page illuminated plates, with detailed maps and geographic figures, in bright colors, decorated with cherubs on clouds. Some of the maps are decorated with traces of gold. The oval mappa mundi has cherubs, or wind heads, in blue and gold clouds, which represent the classical 12 wind points out of which evolved the modern compass points. The most detailed maps show complete coasts, ports, and rivers and were the navigation aids of the day, but they do not generally represent inland features other than towns and cities. The atlas includes an armillary sphere and a finely drawn zodiac chart.

Cartographer: Forlani, Paolo - (attivo a Venezia tra il 1560 ed il 1574)

Mediterranean Sea Region 1569

Description: This portolan chart by the prominent Italian cartographer and engraver Paolo Forlani is the first sea chart engraved and printed on copperplate. Forlani was born in Verona but flourished in Venice in 1560–74. Most of his maps appeared under the imprint of other publishers, including Giovanni Francesco Camocio, Ferrando Bertelli, and Bolognini Zaltieri in Venice and Claudio Duchetti in Rome―members of the Lafreri school of cartography, some of whose printing plates were still used well into the 17th century. Nominally a map of the Mediterranean Sea region, the map extends as far west as Ireland and north to much of Russia and the Black Sea (labeled as Mare Maggiore). The word portolan derives from portolano, meaning “related to ports or harbors.” Portolan charts were often simple coastal outlines used in navigation with few, if any, inland features shown. The straight lines crisscrossing the chart represent the 32 directions, or headings, of the mariner’s compass from a given point. Coastal place-names are written on the land side of the coastline so as not to obscure possible maritime dangers. Areas of political control are indicated by different colors along the coastline and in some cases by shading of the interior

Cartographer:Dourado, Fernando Vaz, 16th century

Title: Atlas with Portolan Charts of the Old World and New World, 1580

Description:This atlas of portolan charts of the old and the new worlds consists of 16 double leaves made from fine white parchment, bound in costly red morocco leather (made from fine goatskin) with gold ornaments in oriental style. The important Portuguese mariner, cartographer, and painter Fernão Vaz Dourado is thought to have made the atlas in 1580, near the end of his life. It belongs to a class of late-16th-century cartographic masterpieces, which reflect the period’s rising demand for cartographic works that were both visually impressive and useful for practical navigation. The atlas was commissioned by the Portuguese crown and produced in Goa, western India, where Dourado spent his last years. The geographical scope of the atlas extends from South America to the Persian Empire, to China (where Canton is named), to Java and New Guinea, and to North America. The charts are remarkable for their narrative wealth. In the regions displayed, natives are portrayed wearing no clothes, with attributes thought to be typical, while busy hunting, gathering food, or carrying out other activities representative of their respective countries as portrayed in Western literary works. The conquerors, in contrast, appear on horseback, wearing hats and suits. The map of Africa contains what most likely is a pictorial allusion to the battle between the Portuguese and Moors near Ksar el-Kebir (Alcazarquivir, Morocco) in 1578. The two riders clad in characteristic costumes and carrying banners may represent the main protagonists in the battle, King Sebastião I of Portugal and Sultan Abd Al-Malik of Morocco (shown wearing a turban). The atlas was transferred from Polling Abbey (Upper Bavaria), when it was dissolved in 1803, to the Munich Court Library, which became the Bavarian State Library, where it has remained ever since.

Title: Theater of the World

Creator: Ortelius, Abraham, 1527-1598 - Date Created:  1587 CE

Description: The Flemish scholar and geographer Abraham Ortelius (1527–98) published the first edition of his Theatrum orbis terrarum (Theater of the world) in 1570. Containing 53 maps, each with a detailed commentary, it is considered the first true atlas in the modern sense: a collection of uniform map sheets and accompanying text bound to form a book for which copper printing plates were specifically engraved. The 1570 edition was followed by editions in Latin, Dutch, French, German, and Spanish, with an ever-increasing number of maps. It is not known who engraved and printed the maps, but for printing the typographical parts of the atlases Ortelius commissioned a series of Antwerp printers: initially Aegidius Coppens van Diest, followed by Aegidius Radeus in 1575, and in 1579–89 Christopher Plantin (1520–89). Shown here is the French edition of 1587, which contains the same maps as the Latin edition of 1584. For printing the texts, Plantin charged Ortelius 177 florins in June-July of 1587. Plantin was an influential Renaissance humanist and printer. A native of France, he settled in Antwerp around 1549, where he worked first as a bookbinder and, in 1555, established his own publishing house, De Gulden Passer (The golden compasses). Plantin produced many important religious, humanistic, and scientific books, including the famous Biblia Polyglotta (Polyglot Bible) of 1568–73.

Cartographer:     Martines, Joan, 1556–1590

Description: This manuscript atlas by Joan Martines, cosmographer to King Philip II of Spain, dated 1587, represents the combination of two cartographic schools that existed at the time of its creation. The older one was the traditional school of Majorca, which specialized in decorative portolan maps that by this time were obsolete with regard to the geographic information they conveyed. The newer one was the cartographic school of the Low Countries, which applied Renaissance principles and used different forms of cartographic representation based on new concepts in astronomy, mathematics, and geography to produce maps containing more information than the traditional portolans. The atlas consists of 19 maps, each on two pages, with the drawings occupying nearly the length of the pages and framed by edgings of different colors. Place-names are given in Gothic letters, in red and black ink, and in Roman small capitals. There are six nautical charts, 11 regional maps, and two maps of the world, all luxuriously illuminated in colored-wash drawing, with panes of gold and silver. Most of the maps have a large compass rose showing 16 or 32 directions, and some of the maps depict ships sailing the seas.

Title: Maritime Atlas

This work is an illuminated and illustrated maritime atlas, referred to as the Walters Deniz atlas. It is one of the earliest Ottoman atlases, tentatively dated to around the mid-16th century. The work contains eight double-page charts executed on parchment. Four of the maps show the Mediterranean, Aegean, and Black seas. There is also a world map and a chart of the Indian Ocean. The various geographical names are written in black nasta‘līq script. A distinguishing feature of this atlas is the detailed approach to representing such features as city vignettes. The charts are drawn in various colors, including black, red, gold, green, blue, deep rose, light green, and yellow.
