A propos de cet article

Very good. Left margin close but complete. Size 12 x 7.75 Inches. This is Athanasius Kircher's 1665 map of the Alps, illustrating that scholar's novel hydro-geographic theory. A Closer Look The map is centered on the Swiss Alps, including northern Italy, southeastern France, and southern Germany, and reaches as far east as Dalmatia. The map includes enough detail to identify the location, but Kircher here is interested less in the features aboveground and more underneath: central to the map is a vast, underground chasm which - according to Kircher's theories - is the source of all of Europe's major rivers. Kircher hypothesized that tides and currents are caused by water moving to and from a massive subterranean ocean. Kircher further postulated that water entered and exited the subterranean ocean via a number of great abysses situated around the globe. In addition, he believed that massive underground lakes lay beneath most of the world's great mountain ranges - such as the centerpiece of this map. As ludicrous as his theories now appear, Kircher's maps were among the first thematic maps to attempt to scientifically illustrate and explain global geological and oceanographic phenomena. Publication History and Census This map was produced to accompany the 1665 edition of Kircher's Mundus Subterraneus . The separate map is neglected in institutional collections, appearing only once, but the book is well represented in OCLC. References: OCLC 163838784. Norwich, O. I., Norwich's Maps of Africa: An Illustrated and Annotated Cartobibliography, no. 157.…
