Maps and Travel: An Introduction
(De Gruyter, 2019)
This volume is an attempt to illuminate the way geographic space was described and visualized in premodern times and how significantly these depictions differed from region to region, from period to period, and from context to context. Various methods of mapmaking and different ways of putting travel experiences into words yielded different results. The history of travel and mapmaking does not reveal a continuous evolutionary progression, but, rather, results in the delineation of individual distinctionsand differences ...

Winds and Continents: Concepts for Structuring the World and Its Parts
(De Gruyter, 2019)
The present essay is an attempt to show how and why winds and geographic entities, originally referred to as the parts of the earth and only later as continents, became important for the perception of the structure of the world. My starting point is Burchard of Mount Zion’s travel report ‘Descriptio terrae sanctae’, written between 1274 and 1285, which was based on these two concepts. Versions of that report, which circulated from the fourteenth to the sixteenth century, were adorned with various illustrations. I ...

‘Libertas’ e monachesimo femminile: l’interazione tra papa e vescovo a livello locale
(Vita e Pensiero, 2019)
Questo contributo si propone di analizzare i rapporti che si instaurarono tra papato e istituzioni monastiche femminili sulla base dei privilegi loro accordati; privilegi che miravano a concedere diritti particolari o libertates, creando così un legame di dipendenza particolare dal papato. A questo scopo è stato scelto il caso del monastero benedettino prima e cistercense dopo di S. Giovanni della Pipia a Cremona. Il momento della fondazione di un’istituzione religiosa e i relativi documenti e privilegi papali ricevuti ...

Neue Karten für die Neue Welt?
(De Gruyter Oldenbourg, 2019)
Der Artikel geht der Frage nach, welche Erfahrungen, Vorstellungen und Denkmuster aus der Antike im Zeitraum zwischen etwa 1450 und 1550 die Exploration neuer Meere und Länder antrieben. Dabei richtet sich die Analyse vor allem auf Diskurse, Techniken und Praktiken, die eingesetzt wurden, um die Dynamiken der frühneuzeitlichen Expansion in kartographische Bilder zu übersetzen und die Welt kartographisch zu konfigurieren. Die Untersuchung erfolgt in drei Schritten, die erstens die Rezeption divergierender antiker ...
