Physical description; 256 pages: color illustrations, color maps; 27 x 29 cm. Notes' "First published in France under the title L'Age d'or des Cartes Marines Édit…ions du Seuil, 2012."--Title page verso. Catalog of the exhibition at Bibliothèque nationale de France, Paris, October 23, 2012-January 27, 2013. Includes bibliographical references (pages 248) and index. Contents; Oceanic overture / Frank Lestringant -- The fascination of portolans: historiography and collections / Catherine Hofmann -- How portolan maps were made and used through the centuries / Catherine Hofmann, Hélène Richard, Emmanuelle Vagnon -- Catalonian atlas -- The Mediterranean: the cradle of portolan maps / Emmanuelle Vagnon -- Navigational maps: the first widely distributed maps / Ramon J.

Summary;"'Portolan charts,' so called from the Italian adjective portolano, meaning 'related to ports or harbours,' were born during the 12th century in the maritime community. These charts, drawn on parchment and crisscrossed with lines referring to the compass directions, indicated the succession of ports and anchorages along the shores, and were used by European sailors exploring the world up until the 18th century. Not only used as navigational instruments on boats, they were also produced for wealthy sponsors in the form of illuminated images of the world, to illustrate the economic and political interests of the major European sea powers. This book takes stock of the state of knowledge on these maps, bringing together contributions from a dozen European specialists, who trace the history and diversity of styles and places of production of these charts. This type of mapping is approached from three angles. The first part, 'The Mediterranean,' refers to the manufacture and use of the first charts, centered on the Mediterranean, and the persistence of this tradition in the Mediterranean basin until the 18th century. The second part, 'Wide Open Spaces,' shows how these regional charts have evolved from a technical and iconographical point of view at the time of the great European voyages, in order to include the oceans and new worlds. The third part, 'The Indian Ocean,' shows how these charts, in a maritime area where ancient civilizations coexisted, were dependent on other cartographic traditions (ancient, Arab, Asian) before joining the information reported by Portuguese sailors and European trading companies in the modern era." -- Publisher's website. Review: This work is for the maritime enthusiast. Included are essays by a number of European authorities who elaborate upon locations, styles, and evolution of po.

Review: This work is for the maritime enthusiast. Included are essays by a number of European authorities who elaborate upon locations, styles, and evolution of portolan charts from the late Middle Ages to the Age of Discovery. The early portolans were 12th-century parchment charts that initially described coastlines, ports, and havens, with special reference to the Mediterranean. Those charts were transformed as shipping took to the oceans of the world toward the end of the Middle Ages. A glossary and list of exhibit pieces conclude a work of special interest to the historians of cartography. Color maps and other illustrations are a feature of this work. Recommended.

Fine condition multi-green speckled boards/black spine/gold spine lettering contained in a very good condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. The upper jacket spine edge contains moderate chipping and scattered edgewear (see photographs)…. The first front endpaper contains a small neatly scripted former owner name. Includes Introduction. Illustrated with black-and-white drawings. "Thousands of people felt at first hand the unforgettable force of Peter Marshall's ministry; many hundreds of thousands more have drawn inspiration and deep spiritual insight from The Prayers of Peter Marshall and from Catherine Marshall's best-selling story of his life, A Man Called Peter. For Peter Marshall's sermons proved him not only a devout man of God but also an exciting storyteller. In this book, Catherine Marshall has skillfully wrought from the many inspiring sermons of her late husband a magnificent dramatic narrative of Easter. Here in The First Easter are all the important scenes and events of Christ's Passion, from the Last Supper to the Resurrection - a drama alternately tender and terrible, but always engrossing. Through the words of Peter Marshall you will witness the tense encounter between Jesus and Judas at the Last Supper. You will walk with the disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane, where Christ is betrayed and taken prisoner. You will share the agony of Simon Peter as he thrice denies Christ before the cock crows. Peter Marshall's version of the great Easter story is exciting, reverent, and, above all, graphic. The characterizations in The First Easter are acutely drawn and poignantly real. The Savior, Simon Peter, Judas, Pilate, Caiaphas and Mary Magdalene - these and others all appear in memorable three-dimensional portraits. Dr. Marshall observes the dramatic changes wrought in the apostles by the Resurrection. He captures both the essential significance of Christ's crucifixion in His own time and, in a moving summation to the book, the meaning of Easter for today's Christians.". Hofmann, William (illustrator).
