M atthew H. E dney . Cartography
Matthew H. Edney’s Cartography: The Ideal and Its History proclaims, “Cartography deserves to die” (233). For the author, the word is so flawed, anachronistic, inadequate, and essentializing that it is, in effect, useless. He encourages us to eliminate its usage entirely in order to think about maps in more flexible terms that embrace the wider array in which humans perceive and relate to the physical world. Edney builds his case by tracing how t…
Amerasia
The association of America and Asia dominated the geographical imagination of Europe for well over a century after 1492. Narratives and representations of myriad texts, maps, objects, and images produced between 1450 and 1700 reveal a vision of a world where Mexico really was India, North America was an extension of China, South America was populated by a variety of biblical and Asian sites, and American cultural productions and ethnographic feat…
Erin Maglaque. Venice’s Intimate Empire
Erin Maglaque’s Venice’s Intimate Empire: Family Life and Scholarship in the Renaissance Mediterranean weaves a dense narrative tapestry that recounts the lives of two sixteenth-century Venetians and their families: Giovanni Bembo, who eventually became the governor of the Aegean islands of Skiathos and Skopelos, and Pietro Coppo, an imperial scribe who moved to the Istrian city of Isola to become a municipal bureaucrat. Both of these Venetians h…

Altera Roma
This collection of articles (resulting from a symposium and exhibition at the J. Paul Getty Museum, The Aztec Pantheon and the Art of Empire, 2010) juxtaposes the history and representation of the Roman and Aztec Empires, as seen in particular through the eyes of the Spanish who first encountered Mexico and its advanced civilization in the sixteenth century. At the same time that Europeans were rediscovering their own classical past, they were al…
The New World in Early Modern Italy, 1492–1750
Italians became fascinated by the New World in the early modern period. While Atlantic World scholarship has traditionally tended to focus on the acts of conquest and the politics of colonialism, these essays consider the reception of ideas, images and goods from the Americas in the non-colonial states of Italy. Italians began to venerate images of the Peruvian Virgin of Copacabana, plant tomatoes, potatoes, and maize, and publish costume books s…

Venetians in America
In 1558, the Venetian patrician Nicolò Zen published Dello scoprimento, a text that suggested that his Venetian ancestors had made landfall in the Americas before Columbus. Generations of scholars have pored over Zen’s text and accompanying map with the hopes of determining whether or not this voyage took place. Zen’s text, however, cannot be classified as either history or fiction; like many other early modern travel accounts, it was a combinati…
