Cartography in Antiquity and the Middle Ages
Fresh Perspectives, New Methods
Series: - Technology and Change in History, Volume: 10
In scope, this book matches The History of Cartography, vol. 1 (1987) edited by Brian Harley and David Woodward. Now, twenty years after the appearance of that seminal work, classicists and medievalists from Europe and North America highlight, distill and reflect on the remarkably productive progress made since in many different areas of the study of maps. The interaction between experts on antiquity and on the Middle Ages evident in the thirteen contributions offers a guide to the future and illustrates close relationships in the evolving practice of cartography over the first millennium and a half of the Christian era.
Contributors are Emily Albu, Raymond Clemens, Lucy Donkin, Evelyn Edson, Tom Elliott, Patrick Gauthier Dalché, Benjamin Kedar, Maja Kominko, Natalia Lozovsky, Yossef Rapoport, Emilie Savage-Smith, Camille Serchuk, Richard Talbert, and Jennifer Trimble.

"Ce très intéressant volume, écho du 35e Atelier médiéval qui réunit à Vancouver, en octobre 2005, une quinzaine de spécialistes, est dédié à la mémoire des pionniers que furent, pour lâhistoire de la cartographie, John Brian Harley et David Woodward, disparus respectivement en 1991 et en 2004. [...] Une abondante bibliographie, un index, quatorze planches en couleurs (sans compter les nombreuses illustrations à lâintérieur de lâouvrage) font de ce recueil dâarticles un instrument de travail indispensable pour les médiévistes intéressés par lâhistoire des mentalités et un excellent complément au volume I de lâHistory of Cartography qui date de 1987, une époque où la numérisation nâavait pas encore révélé toutes ses possibilités."
