Title A name given to the resource Zone Map Description An account of the resource This circular map of the world spans the entirety of the open two pages of the Liber Floridus. It is so large, in fact, that the top fifth or so of the circle goes off the page, and an additional piece of parchment needed to be added in order for the circle to be complete. This piece of parchment folds into the book when closed. Filling in the blank space around the outside of the map is text, and along the inside edge of the circle there are labelled rings. The outermost ring has the zodiac signs, then Saturn, Mars, sun and Venus. The innermost ring is the moon, and in between Venus and the moon there is a ring the label of which is no longer legible. Within the rings there is a recognizable zonal map of the world, with the known world of Europe, Africa, and Asia on the left page and a southern temperate zone on the right. The northern habitable zone is strongly reminiscent of T-O maps in the division of land. In between the two temperate regions is the inhospitable hot zone, but in this particular zonal map the hot zone is occupied by a red pathway. This equatorial track has a chart of the sun's movements over the course of a year on top of it. The combination of this pathway chart and the circles of the planets circling the earth on one map is interesting in that it would have provided viewers with two different ways to visually situate themselves in the heavens. The map is mostly uncolored parchment, but the second most common color is a green that comprises both two planetary rings as well as what appears to be water surrounding the equatorial pathway and that encircles the world map, as well as coloring in rivers. Red is used for a single planet ring, the pathway chart, and two mountains in the northern temperate zone. There is a single blue planet ring, that of Mars.

Title A name given to the resource Agas Map of London Description An account of the resource The Agas Map of London or Civitas Londinum, a woodcut printed from 8 blocks, presents a city view of London and its surrounding environs designed to be displayed on a wall. This 1633 work is a possible reproduction of an older copperplate map (of which only two plates survive), offering an explanation to the Agas Map’s lack of a clearly defined border. The River Thames runs the entire width of the map, dividing the map and city into two sections; it is filled with numerous boats, London Bridge divides the river, containing ocean going ships on the right and numerous small barges and rowboats to the left. The mapmaker affirms London’s importance as a trading hub, the entrepot between the English hinterlands and the world, through the inclusion of such a diversity of vessels. Men lead encumbered pack animals into the river near the Styllyyarde and Tower of London. Large swans ply the river in the bottom left corner. The river’s current and waves are represented by numerous lines and hummocks, highlighting its tidal nature. The map depicts the layout of the city streets separating blocks filled with small stylized homes. The mapmaker names the larger buildings like churches, guildhalls, and palaces, reproducing them as faithfully as possible. The map fans out upon leaving the city center, showing the surrounding roads, towns, and fields. The major roads and towns are named; the busiest roads and crossroads contain people. London’s position as a thriving and expansive city is emphasized by downplaying the city walls and highlighting the fertile outlands. Numerous people doing a multitude of activities (including dancing, milking cows, laundry, building, playing games, strolling, or hunting) populate the fields. The mapmaker chooses to present the Royal Arms in the top left corner and the City of London’s arms in the top right corner, hoisted by two cherubs. The Corporation of the City of London may have played a role in the creation of the original map, attested to by the elaborate frame coupled with the map’s focus on London and de-emphasis of Westminster. The map highlights the wealth, power, and size of the City of London.

Title A name given to the resource Map of Florence Description An account of the resource At only two feet by four feet, the Map of Florence (Veduta della Catena) engraving depicts an intricate city view of Florence, Italy. Expressive, wavy lines are used to denote water, while cross-hatching and linear styles are used to give buildings and landscapes depth and volume. The perspective of the viewer is that of an observer standing on a hill above the city looking down. In fact, there is an artist in the bottom right corner of the map sketching the city from a similar vantage point. Similar oblique birds-eye views of cities were created throughout the Middle Ages to capture realistic, detailed representations of the “normal experience of an individual” in a local area (Harvey, 1987). This city view is distinctly divided into a foreground, middle ground, and background. The foreground shows day-to-day activities on a human scale, including fishing, boating, and horseback riding. The middle ground is occupied by the city center of Florence, which is enclosed by a tall, crenellated wall and also bounded on the near side by the river, with bridges leading into the city. The city center is densely packed with buildings, though few people are present, and the entire map centers on the cathedral. The tall dome of the cathedral draw the viewer’s eye upward to the background of the map, which is dominated by sparsely populated rolling hills fading backward to tall, angular mountains. This city view of Florence showcases several features that make cities great, according to Botero (1588). These include substantial fortifications, pleasing natural scenery, access to waterways for transport and trade, and a consolidated city center. The entire map is enclosed by a linked chain with a three-dimensional padlock in the upper left corner within the frame of the map. The chain creates the illusion of depth while also highlighting the economic, political, and cultural value of Florence. Containing the entire architectural framework of the city, the chain emphasizes the importance of preserving the artistry of Florence as well as the city’s role as a center of trade and seat of power in Central Italy (Altcappenberg, 1994).

Title A name given to the resource Fra Mauro Mappamundi Description An account of the resource Originating sometime between 1448 and 1460, Fra Mauro’s remarkably detailed and complex world map was created at the monastery of San Michele on Murano for King Afonso V of Portugal, along with a secondary copy, which was presented to the Venetian Republic. Measuring 2.4 by 2.4 meters, the central part of the map is contained within an ornate circular golden frame. The central section of the map richly depicts the continental areas of Europe, Asia, Africa, as well as numerous small islands. Over 3000 beautifully lettered red, blue, and gold inscriptions provide a wealth of encyclopedic information. Physical and geographic objects, such as cities, mountains, forests, oceans, and rivers are depicted in an elaborate style. The mappamundi is heavily influenced by a number of sources, including Islamic cartography, as demonstrated by the southern orientation of the map. The mappamundi is also heavily influenced by Christianity and Biblical stories, as demonstrated by the image of the Garden of Eden in one of the four circular depictions outside of the central frame. Another of these depictions, a cosmological diagram of the solar system, reveals another source of information for the mappamundi: Ptolemy’s Geography. The last two depictions are of the four elements and of the earth as a globe, separated into sections by the North and South poles, the Equator, and the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn.

Title A name given to the resource Creation with Cosmographical Diagram Description An account of the resource The map is a painted woodcut from the 1534 edition of the Luther Bible and is found at the beginning of Genesis in the Old Testament. There are two prominent features of the map: God overseeing creation; and the concentric spheres of the cosmos. God the creator is cloaked in red and has elaborate gold and jewels around the neck. Their deep red cloak embraces creation and gives the impression of great power over the cosmos. Concentric circles of gold and red radiate from the creator’s head as bright rays. The material cosmos occupies the center of the image beneath the creator and consists of three concentric circles, reflecting the Italian tradition of placing the spheres of the cosmos concentrically (Cosgrove 90). The first ring of the cosmos is blue-green with tightly stacked and fluid wavy lines. Perhaps it reflects the billowing cloud symbols used in medieval, religious, cosmographical diagrams to represent a boundary where human senses are obscured, or perhaps it is the waters above the firmament as outlined in the Genesis creation narrative (Cosgrove 90). Next is the second ring of the cosmos which is twice as thick as the first. This ring contains celestial bodies, clouds, and birds in flight, all of which can be perceived by man. Varying shades of blue dominate the ring and yellow is used as a sharp contrast to denote the celestial bodies—sun, moon, and stars. The final sphere is a central Eden landscape which two human occupants, likely Adam and Eve. The figures are unclothed and surrounded by a green landscape and diverse wildlife. A body of blue water surrounds the landmass, and a sharp toothed sea creature occupies the bottom left waters. Four rivers radiate from the center of paradise (the Phison, Gehon, Tigris, and Euphrates).

Title A name given to the resource "Columbus" Map Description An account of the resource The “Columbus” Map (Carta de Cristóbal Colón) combines a portolan chart and a mappamundi on a single piece of parchment. In only four colors (red, green, black and goldleaf), it portrays both a navigable world and its place in the cosmic universe. The majority of the map is a square portolan chart, complete with compasses and scale bars. Rhumb lines crisscross the Atlantic Ocean, Europe, the Mediterranean, and Africa, and the coastlines teem with port names. On the continents, unique buildings mark large cities, flags denote political territories, and mountains, rivers, and trees decorate the continents. Two human figures, perhaps engaged in combat, and are drawn in Africa, and several short Latin descriptions provide commentary on various locations. Adjacent to this chart, a circular mappamundi depicts and describes Africa, Europe, Asia, islands, oceans, and Paradise. Nine spheres with the sun, moon, planets, and constellations surround this representation of the earth. This unsigned map has highly contested authorship. Charles de La Ronciere attributed it to Christopher and Bartholomew Columbus, though others have suggested it may have been commissioned rather than created by them, or the creator may have only had an indirect connection to the Columbus brothers. The map was created sometime between 1492 and 1500, based on the limits of geographic discoveries and the political demarcation of a Spanish flag in Granada.

Title A name given to the resource Magdeburg Description An account of the resource This is a city view woodcut of the city of Magdeburg from the Nuremberg Chronicle, an incunable, or early printed book, published in 1493 that describes the history of the world along with geographical information about European and Middle Eastern countries and towns. The book was the collective work of a group of humanists from Nuremburg: it was mainly written by Hartman Schedel and illustrated with woodcuts made in the studio of Michael Wolgemut. It is the most extensively illustrated book of the 15th century, combining type and woodcuts on the same page for the first time. This chronicle contains two different kinds of city views, one page views that are more fantastical, and realistic two-page spreads that are based on observation. This illustration of Magdeburg is one of the thirty-two realistic town views included in the incunable. This illustration covers the bottom half of a two-page spread below German text. The woodcut itself depicts the city of Magdeburg spreading up from the banks of the river Elbe on which it sits. A large ship sits in the water, as well as a mill with two wheels and two figures on docks. Turreted walls surround the city at the water’s edge. Behind it, each building has been rendered with careful detail, including landmarks of the city such as several gothic churches, a statue, and buildings with towers. These landmarks seem to have been highlighted because of their slightly larger than realistic size. In the background beyond the buildings a pastoral area is visible. There is some damage along the middle of the spread where the two pages meet, but the woodcut is in otherwise good condition.

The distinction between titles and alternative titles is application-specific. L’atlante di Borso D’Este La Cosmographia di Claudio Tolomeo Description An account of the resource Around 1466 Nicolaus Germanus was able to convert information contained in Ptolemy’s Geography into an atlas of the world that he would eventually present to renowned patron Borso d’Este of Ferrara. The atlas is rather large, and needs to be laid out on a table and studied from above in order to properly absorb what it has to show. The first map shown in the atlas is that of most of the known world from the time, stretching from Iberia in the West to India in the East. Each of the following pages in the atlas proceeds to focus in on a smaller section of the world. The geographical markers on the maps are all in Latin, as are each of the paragraphs of information about each regional/subsectional map that can be read on the preceding page. These paragraphs are helpful for learning more about the region and can show us how Europe thought about various reaches of the world in the 1460s. Each map in the atlas displays country names in gold, region names in red, regional boundaries as dotted red lines, and cities as small golden dots accompanied by their respective names. Rivers and seas are deep royal blue and mountain ranges are swaths of light and dark brown. Perhaps the most eye-catching and noteworthy of all the features on these maps, however, is the longitudinal and latitudinal coordinate system that borders each. This is information that Germanus took directly from Ptolemy’s Geography (which was one of many new manuscripts that had just recently been brought west from Constantinople) and plotted visually. Ptolemy had noted in his work that maps of such a large scale as the entire known world would require “curved and inclined” lines to properly mimic the form of the earth, so Germanus listened. These curved lines can be best seen on the first map in the atlas, which really shows the projected shape of Earth better than any of the smaller, regional maps in the rest of the atlas that seem to neglect Earth’s curvature altogether. The first map also shares the same shape as one of Ptolemy’s earliest graticules (drawn in his Geography), adding confusion and suspicion to understanding whether or not Germanus copied these maps from Ptolemy’s work or if he crafted them himself. Regardless of this ambiguity, this atlas is still one of the earliest examples of Ptolemy’s theory in praxis, and was quickly adopted as a “visual companion” for Ptolemy’s work and thought.

The distinction between titles and alternative titles is application-specific. Omnium asterismorum continens schemata, nova methodo delineata, aereis laminis expressa; Containing diagrams of all the asterisms [constellations?], identified by a new method, engraved on copper plates Description An account of the resource Uranometria contains 52 plates engraved by Alexander Mair, measuring 2’ in length (parallel to the spine) and 1’ in width. The first plate is the title page, featuring an architectural motif with the full title and publication date in the center, surrounded by mythic and divine figures from Greek legend. The next 48 plates each depict a single constellation, all of which were originally described by the Alexandrian astronomer Ptolemy in his 2nd-century treatise, the Almagest. Bayer outlines each constellation with an artistic rendition of its namesake. In some instances, Bayer breaks from the traditional mode of representation, depicting figures like Hercules facing away from the viewer rather than towards them. Uranometria’s more than 1200 stars (expanded from a stellar catalogue of 1005 stars compiled by Tycho Brahe in 1598) are labeled with a Greek or Latin character in order of descending brightness. Each star can therefore be identified by its constellation and letter--Alpha Draco, Epsilon Orion, and so on. This novel system is still in use today, and represents a clean break from the Ptolemaic system in which stars were identified by lines of prose. The constellations are placed on a grid that allows any given star to be located in the night sky to within a fraction of a degree. Plate 49 shows 12 southern constellations only recently described by Europeans at the time of publication in 1603. Plates 50 and 51 are planispheres for the northern and southern skies respectively, used to show what stars are visible in the sky for any given time and date. Though the first edition included a table of stars on the verso of each plate, in later editions they were published separately as the Explicatio characterum aeneis Uranometrias and are not included in this particular text.

Title A name given to the resource Cities of the World Alternative Title An alternative name for the resource. The distinction between titles and alternative titles is application-specific. Civitates Orbis Terrarvm; Beschreibung und Contrafactur der vornembster Stät der Welt Description An account of the resource Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg’s 16th-century Cities of the World is a six-volume city atlas. Each volume features detailed engravings of cities from around the world, the early volumes focusing primarily on European cities. In the second volume facsimile, every map is outlined in a gold border and has dark, rich colors. These maps are realistic representations, rather than schematic ones, in that the maps’ buildings and their surrounding landmarks are drawn in detail. Prior to the page, or spread, that a map fills, a page of Latin text edited by Braun provides historical and cultural context. The maps in this volume have two types of perspectives: aerial, showing the city from a great height, and bird’s-eye, looking directly down on the city. The aerial views show the cities from a distance, while the surrounding areas are shown in greater detail. Topographical lines mark the hills encompassing the cities, an artistic development that appeared during the Renaissance and was quickly adopted by cartographers. The maps from a bird’s-eye view are from a top-down show the city streets in detail, sectioning off the city from the countryside with thick, bold lines. This bird’s-eye view was developed during the Renaissance, and Hogenberg uses this engraving technique to defy perceptual limitations and portray the cities as God would see them. The borders between the city and the agricultural land are a visual means of separation, highlighting the cities’ understandings of urban identity. These borders are a physical form of separation, while the humans depicted in the foreground of the maps show cultural separation. The people drawn in the foreground range from representations of farmers to soldiers, and their scale is larger than that of the city buildings in the background, placing an emphasis on their presence. Along with these larger figures, there are smaller scenes depicting battles and trade. Braun’s inclusion of these scenes communicates the towns’ histories and economies in an informational, yet enjoyable, form for travelers and readers. The readability of the volume sets it apart from traditional wall maps. By reading through this volume, readers from the 16th century would have had a greater understanding of their world than if they were looking at a single map. The time and resources necessary for this single atlas are also far greater than a sheet map. By owning all six volumes, one would not only be highly educated, but they would be displaying a high degree of wealth.
