It is argued that the map in MS Harley 1808, which can be dated to between 1422 and c.1450, was almost certainly copied in York. Detailed consideration of it in its manuscript context shows that it could be read as a support to the narrative of British history which traced the lineage of English kings back to the legendary founder of the kingdom, Brutus. Concluding remarks consider the implications of that reading for the Gough map. An appendix lists toponyms on the map of Britain in MS Harley 1808 and compares them with their equivalents on the Gough map.","PeriodicalId":44589,"journal":{"name":"Imago Mundi-The International Journal for the History of Cartography","volume":"74 1","pages":"173 - 188"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44824351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Martínez","doi":"10.1080/03085694.2022.2130549","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/03085694.2022.2130549","url":null,"abstract":"the so called paulistas, luso-brazilian mestizos from the plateau of São Paulo de Piratininga, had overstepped the lines imposed by contemporary treaties in their search for indigenous populations to use as slaves, even reaching the Spanish Jesuit missions. At the end of the seventeenth century, gold and emerald mines were found in the centre of South America. By the 1740s, at the peak of extraction, production reached 14 tons of gold, accelerating the need for treaties that would determine more clearly the possessions of each Crown. By approaching the topic of the paulistas, Goes delves into a thorny issue in Brazilian historiography. One of the most important figures in the revival of Alexandre de Gusmão’s writings in the twentieth century was the Portuguese scholar Jaime Cortesão (1884–1960), who, in addition to understanding the Portuguese Crown as being chiefly responsible for Portugal’s westward expansion in South America, thanks to the geopolitical importance of its territories, helped to mystify the image of the role of the paulistas in this process. Most Brazilian historiography, though, tends to question the paulista view of the construction of Brazilian space, especially from a better understanding of their movement in the hinterland in the course of slave raiding to supply the slave markets in the Brazilian Highland. Border myths are crucial elements in the legitimation of territories at the negotiating table. Thus, questioning some of Cortesão’s theses, Goes discusses two of the main myths. First, that of Brazil Island, an idea widely used in the eighteenth century with the help of maps from the previous century. According to this myth, the basins of the rivers Plate and Amazon met at some point in the centre of the continent, forming the immense Xarayes Lake, in such a way that the Portuguese territories were already separated from the Spanish by ‘natural borders’. The second myth suggested that the territories that today make up Brazil formerly belonged to an immense indigenous Tupi-Guarani group and that the whole area from the confluence of the Paraguay River and the Guaporé River to the Amazon was their ancestral territory: Pindorama. Goes questions both myths, pointing to borders as human constructs from a given time and showing the importance of Alexandre de Gusmão as an articulator of two key elements in the diplomatic negotiations: the idea of utis possidetis, by which legitimate possession was guaranteed to those who had already colonized the land, and the idea that territorial possession would be marked by natural landscape elements such as rivers and mountain chains. Thus, in Goes’s view, Brazilian territory as a geographical entity owes much to the role played by Alexandre de Gusmão. But in focusing on Gusmão, he almost leaves an important consideration out of his narrative, namely that of the actual events of exploration in Portuguese America. The construction of maps and their use in diplomacy were also dependent on th","PeriodicalId":44589,"journal":{"name":"Imago Mundi-The International Journal for the History of Cartography","volume":"74 1","pages":"315 - 316"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49038582","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Neither completed nor published, the map was lost in the Second World War and survives only in the form of photostatic copies: one set made by a local scholar, another by an occupying army. While Raczyński’s map has been mined for its historical data, the authors see it as a paradox on two levels. It is argued, first, that Raczyński was more concerned with undertaking a survey for strategic military purposes than with making a nationalist argument for reconstructing a lost Polish state, as was characteristic of other maps drawn at this time. Second, the tremendous amount of work put into the map’s extensive, systematic detail suggests the map was unusual for a simple private initiative.","PeriodicalId":44589,"journal":{"name":"Imago Mundi-The International Journal for the History of Cartography","volume":"74 1","pages":"217 - 240"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46021060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Affected by strong military and geopolitical needs, demarcation maps were not based on cadastres or property mapping undertaken by civil authorities but exclusively on military mapping. The maps were a part of peace treaties with the Ottoman Empire, which gave them the power of legal documents. Moreover, boundary maps constituted an important tool in defending state sovereignty and subsequently in the state- and nation-building processes. In this article I analyse how countries bordering the Ottoman Empire made their demarcation maps, which strategies they applied, what level of cooperation they had with Ottoman cartographers, what cartographic conventions they met, and how these maps were received at the Ottoman court. I argue that boundary mapping was the key driver of territorial statehood in the region.","PeriodicalId":44589,"journal":{"name":"Imago Mundi-The International Journal for the History of Cartography","volume":"74 1","pages":"189 - 216"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43056252","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

K. Johnston in Edinburgh to assist in the production of the English version of Berghaus’s Physikalischer Atlas. In June 1847, Petermann became a freelance cartographer in London focusing on innovative maps of population, infrastructure, hydrography and other themes in Britain, as well as on exploration maps of Africa and the Arctic. From 1853, his commercial ties with Justus Perthes’s Geographische Anstalt intensified, and in 1854 a now professionally well-rounded Petermann moved to Gotha. This article, written to commemorate the bicentenary of his birth, is a comprehensive appraisal of Petermann’s nine years in the United Kingdom. It is posited that his work there was both formative and ultimately essential to the innovations in cartography and geography that he encouraged in his journal Petermanns Mittheilungen from 1855 on.
