摘要
在15世纪到17世纪之间,被称为“孤岛书”的书籍类型在欧洲和地中海地区的读者中非常受欢迎。这种体裁大约诞生于1420年,由Cristoforo Buondelmonti对爱琴海群岛的描述,名为《Liber insularum archipelago》,通过文本和图像的异类组合依次考察单个岛屿。这一流派形成的时期是地理思想和制图学的重要时期:由于15世纪初意大利人文主义者重新发现了托勒密的《地理学》,地图投影技术和通过抽象坐标网格绘制位置的技术得到了新的阐述和应用。然而,《世界史》在很大程度上避开了这些定量和技术方法,而是通过各种各样的地图和导航工具、旅行叙述和给旅行者的建议、考古和碑文、诗歌和神话、古代史和时事、自然史和民族志来呈现它们的主题。因此,《地形图》的成功对目的论的叙述提出了挑战,这表明托勒密《地理学》的重新发现迅速引领了向定量制图方法的广泛而决定性的转变;在近代早期的大部分时间里,混合型孤立体
Islands in Flux: Migration and Ecological Change in Early Modern Isolari (Books of Islands)
THE GENRE OF BOOKS known as isolari (books of islands) enjoyed remarkable popularity among European and Mediterranean readers between the fi fteenth and seventeenth centuries. The genre, born circa 1420 with Cristoforo Buondelmonti ’ s account of the Aegean archipelago entitled Liber insularum archipelagi , examines individual islands in turn via heterogeneous assemblages of text and image. The period when the genre took shape was an important one for geographical thought and cartography: techniques for map projection and the plotting of locations via an abstract coordinate grid were being newly elaborated and applied, thanks to the rediscovery of Ptolemy ’ s Geography by Italian humanists around the turn of the fi fteenth century. Yet the isolari largely eschew these quantitative and technical approaches, instead presenting their subject matter through miscellaneous collec-tions of maps and navigational aids, travel narratives and advice for wayfarers, ar-chaeology and epigraphy, poetry and mythology, ancient history and current events, natural history and ethnography. The success of the isolari thus poses a challenge to teleological narratives suggesting that the rediscovery of Ptolemy ’ s Geography swiftly ushered in a broad and decisive shift toward quantitative approaches to mapping; for much of the early modern period the hybrid isolario
