Description

In the early sixteenth century, there was much experimentation with the new medium of the local and regional map, but there was still no cartographical “language of symbols.” This study inquires into the development, function, and use of these maps (1500–1575), by clarifying their relationship to the respective files. Above all, it addresses “Augenscheinkarten” (inspection maps), as they played an important role in court proceedings.
