‎La mappa mundi d'albi. Culture géographique et représentation du monde au haut moyen âge‎

‎<meta charset="utf-8"><span data-mce-fragment="1">La Mappa mundi d'Albi constitue l'un des exemplaires les plus anciens de représentation du monde en Occident. La cartographie antique n'est en effet connue que par des descriptions textuelles et des copies plus tardives. Ce document cartographique exceptionnel (inscrit en 2015 au registre Mémoire du monde de l'Unesco) ne se présente pas seul : il est conservé dans un manuscrit de parchemin, constituant un recueil de vingt-deux textes, copiés et reliés ensemble vers la fin du VIIIe siècle et conservé depuis dans le fonds de la bibliothèque du chapitre de la cathédrale d'Albi.</span><br data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-mce-fragment="1">Bien que connus des spécialistes et souvent cités, la Mappa mundi d'Albi et le manuscrit dans lequel elle se trouve n'ont jamais fait l'objet d'une recherche approfondie. Les articles du présent volume proposent d'aborder l'étude du manuscrit dans son environnement médiéval, ouvrant des pistes pour des recherches futures et soulignant des points de méthode. Il s'agit tout d'abord d'une interrogation sur le contexte historique et intellectuel du manuscrit et les preuves avancées pour sa datation. Il est question de la persistance des modèles cartographiques antiques, des possibilités matérielles de leur transmission et de leur réception à Albi, et du lien entre la mappemonde et les textes qui l'accompagnent. La comparaison avec d'autres mappemondes et d'autres ouvrages géographiques du haut Moyen Âge permet de mieux comprendre les usages de cette image du monde dans le contexte monastique du chapitre d'Albi et plus largement, de l'essor intellectuel de l'Occident médiéval à l'aube de la Renaissance carolingienne.</span> Paris, 2022 Sorbonne 288 p., nombreuses illustrations de couleurs, broché. 16 x 24‎

‎Fra Mauro's Mappa mundi and Fifteenth-Century Venice ,‎

‎Fra Mauro's mappamundi, drawn around 1450 in the monastery of San Michele on Murano in the lagoon of Venice, is among the most relevant compendia of knowledge of the Earth and the Cosmos of the fifteenth century. By examining literary, visual, textual and archival evidences, some long considered lost, this book places the map within the larger context of Venetian culture in the fifteenth century. It provides a detailed analysis of both its main sources (auctores veteres such as Pliny, Solinus, Ptolemy, and novi, like Albert the Great, Thomas Aquinas, Marco Polo and Niccolo de' Conti) as well as of the composite networks of contemporary knowledge (scholasticism, humanism, monastic culture, as well as more technical skills such as marine cartography and mercantile practices), investigating the way they combine in the epistemological unity of the imago mundi. More a work on intellectual history than cartography, the book constructs a complex set of frameworks within which to situate Fra Mauro's monumental effort. These range from the cultural history of the reception of the world map from the fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries to the analysis of the material conditions under which map-makers such as Fra Mauro worked; from the history of ideas, especially of natural philosophy to the links between world representations and travel literature. It also addresses the Venetian reception of Ptolemy's Geography, the interactions between Venetian art, theology and cosmography and the complexities of the Venetian vernacular. The books develops a multi-tiered approach, in which different elements of the rich cultural context in which this world map was created, interact with each other, each casting a new light on the encyclopaedic work being analyzed.

Angelo Cattaneo, who holds a Ph.D. in History from the European University Institute in Florence, is a researcher at the Centro de Historia de Alem-Mar of the Universidade Nova de Lisboa (Center for Overseas History of the New University of Lisbon). Currently he is studying the global circulation of knowledge, technology and material culture from the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries, particularly cosmography, cartography and travel literature. He is the author of Mappa mundi 1457 (Rome, 2008). He also co-edited the volumes The Making of European Cartography (Florence, 2003) and, with Nathalie Bouloux and Patrick Gautier Dalche, Humanisme et decouvertes geographiques (Medievales 58, 2010).‎
