A propos de cet article

Very good. Some areas of scuffing. Backed on old linen, probably contemporaneously with the printing and coloring of the map. Contemporary outline color. Size 16.25 x 21.25 Inches. This is Nicolas Sanson's 1656 map of China and Korea, here in its 1679 edition published by Sanson’s son, Guillaume. Although Sanson credits a notional 'Matheo Neroni' as his source, it is almost certainly actually the Jesuit missionary and cosmographer Matteo Ricci, who composed an important map in 1588 based on Chinese sources. The Great Wall appears prominently. The map extends to show part of the Philippines, including Luzon, and a remarkable, sickle-shaped Korean Peninsula. Taiwan is shown and named 'I. Hermosa,' an early form of 'Formosa'. The southern coast of China looks across a bizarrely-narrow South China Sea to a massively-protruding 'Cachucyna' nearly reaching Hainan Island. The Source The map's text describes the source for this map as a wall map in the possession of one 'Matheo Neroni' derived from a work drawn in Rome in 1590 and with explanations from Michel Ruggieri. Sanson did not and could not have known Ruggieri, who died in 1607 and there is no evidence to suggest that 'Matheo Neroni' existed at all. Szcze?niak in his 1954 Imago Mundi article suggests that 'Neroni' was in fact Matteo Ricci, and that the map was not drawn in Rome in 1590 but brought there from China in that year, having been composed by Ricci in China based on Chinese sources. Korea The maps Ricci had access to disagreed on the disposition of the Liaodong Peninsula, none of them showing it with precision; they also were imprecise on the depiction of Korea. The portrayal of Korea here, preserved by Sanson in a uniquely sweeping, curvilinear shape, is a result of Ricci's effort to synthesize the disparity in his sources. Many early maps excised Korea entirely; others placed it too far west (by ignoring Liaodong, or conflating the two). The Ricci/Sanson map is remarkable in presenting both, despite the distortion of their shapes. Publication History and Census This map was first engraved by Johannes Somer in 1656 for inclusion in Sanson's atlas published two years later by Pierre Mariette. There are three or four states of this map, of which this is probably the last: although still bearing Nicolas Sanson's imprint, the Galleries du Louvre address and date of 1679 correspond to the editions being published at that time for the Atlas ge?ne?ral of Nicolas' son, Guillaume Sanson. The present example, mounted as it is on old linen, may have been separately issued, or tipped into an atlas factice . We see seven examples of this state of the map listed in OCLC.
