Abstract

Abstract In 1806, High Court judge Luiz Gonzaga de Carvalho e Britto published the first Portuguese manual devoted to making property-register books. In this, he advocated a curious method for surveying and drawing estate maps, one based on his own experience as a mapmaker. Britto’s aim in compiling the manual was to instruct other judges in the map-making techniques needed for registering property. In this article, Britto’s maps and method of map making, as articulated in his manual, offer a window into the practice of estate mapping in early nineteenth-century Portugal. They also convey an idea that was controversial in its time: that judges themselves should be involved in the production of estate maps. While estate mapping was common across Europe in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, in Portugal they were a rare phenomenon, hence the scarcity of these maps in archives, and the uniqueness of Britto’s example.
作为制图师的法官:如何在19世纪早期的葡萄牙绘制一幅地产地图
1806年,高等法院法官路易斯·冈萨加·德·卡瓦略·布里托出版了第一本专门制作财产登记簿的葡萄牙语手册。在这方面,他主张用一种新奇的方法来测量和绘制庄园地图,这种方法是基于他自己作为地图绘制者的经验。布里托编纂这本手册的目的是指导其他法官掌握登记财产所需的地图制作技术。在这篇文章中,布里托的地图和地图制作方法,正如他的手册中所阐述的那样,为19世纪早期葡萄牙的地产测绘实践提供了一个窗口。它们还传达了一个在当时颇具争议的观点:法官自己也应该参与到地产地图的制作中来。虽然在18、19世纪,庄园地图在欧洲很普遍,但在葡萄牙,这是一种罕见的现象,因此这些地图在档案中很少见,而布里托的例子则是独一无二的。
