{"title":"The Politics of the Isolario: Maritime Cosmography and Overseas Expansion During the Renaissance","authors":"George Tolias","doi":"10.12681/HR.287","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.12681/HR.287","url":null,"abstract":"Assessed as a series of narrative geographical constructs, isolarii reflect the diverse political and strategic agenda of the societies that produced and made use of them. Considering the geographical range covered by each isolario, their successive structure and contents, the article attempts to evaluate them as eclectic maritime cosmographies that sustained and supported the various workings of Western European overseas expansion from the early fifteenth century to the early seventeenth. The isolario is a cartographic encyclopaedia of islands, a particular genre that flourished during the Renaissance exploration of the maritime horizons. The isolario is a maritime cosmography, an erudite effort to chart the seas through the detailed cartographic presentation of sole fixed positions in the maritime flux: the islands. As a cultural construct, the isolario reflects the challenges of early modern cosmography, due to European expansion towards the east and west and the resulting altered perception of the world.1 It processes and promotes an alternative spatial system, varied and fragmentary, situated after the familiar continental frontiers. The isolario could be considered as a Humanistic project, an early modern echo of the ancient insular peregrinations narrated by Homer, Virgil and Apollodorus. It constitutes yet another combination of learned approach and empirical inspection. In fact, the isolario reflects a meeting among the various forces of rising modernity: the notions of connectivity imposed by merchants and navigators on the scattered image of the world; the political and economic prospects of maritime expansion; the development of long-distance communication networks; Humanism’s curiosity about geography, natural history and ethnography; the growing faith of the learned in tested and positive information; and the urge to provide administrators and men of action with useful, practical tools. The isolario is an artefact of early modern geographical culture, a Renaissance project that did not survive into the Age of Enlightenment, nor was it transmuted into another descriptive and cartographic geographical 1 See Frank Lestringant, “Le monde ouvert”, in Gérald Chaix (ed.), L’Europe de la Renaissance, 1470-1560, Nantes: Éditions du Temps, 2002, pp. 9-26 (especially pp. 18-19).

In his appeal, Branković sought the opinion of the learned leader of the Orthodox Church on a range of matters of canonical and liturgical content. The responses are widely known; nevertheless, the identification of five as yet unknown responses and the addition of a further four documents to the manuscript tradition of the text justify a new critical edition, which aims to present the entire number of Gennadios’ responses, some among them concerning the legality of moving the Serbian Patriarchate’s see from the captured Peć to Smederovo. The Serbian leader Djuradj [George] Branković, in an era critical not only for his country but for the entire eastern borders of Europe, sent a letter to Gennadios Scholarios, who two years earlier had taken on the duties of the first Patriarch of Constantinople following the fall of the city to the Ottoman Turks and the subsequent re-establishment of the Patriarchate within the framework of the Ottoman Empire. In his appeal to the religious leader of the Orthodox Church, Branković sought his opinion on a range of matters of canonical and liturgical content. The Serbian despot’s letter to Gennadios has not been preserved. We know, however, that the two men were in contact from the text containing the Patriarch’s responses, through which we learn the questions posed to him by the Serbian leader. Many of these responses are widely known and have been published. Nevertheless, the identification of five as yet unknown responses of the Patriarch to questions arising from this crucial period in Serbia’s history and, what is more, the addition of a further four documents to the manuscript tradition of the text, justify in my view a new critical edition that aims at presenting the entire number of Gennadios Scholarios’ responses (at least, as many as we presently know), as preserved in what today amount – with these latest additions – to seven manuscripts. Before embarking on the philological part of this study, with our presentation of the manuscript tradition of the text as it now stands in the light of these new findings, and the new edition based on all the sources, it is worthwhile to review briefly the historical context of the text, and the The Historical Review / La Revue Historique Department of Neohellenic Research / Institute of Historical Research Volume IX (2012) 96 Machi Paizi-Apostolopoulou events that caused the Serbian despot1 to appeal to the authority, wisdom and pragmatism of the first Orthodox Patriarch of Constantinople after the Ottoman conquest.
