«Come dicono gl’istorici antichi…». Nearco come fonte nelle Navigazioni di Giovanni Battista Ramusio (1550-1559) (2013)

unapi

The Italian geographer Giovanni Battista Ramusio (1485-1557) made systematic use of ancient and modern texts as a tool of mutual verification, and - when in doubt - he took the opinions of the "Moderns." In the case of the narrative of Nearchus, the verification tool was the navigation of the Venetian mariner in the Red Sea. The narratives of "Ancients" and "Moderns" confirmed each other, providing information about an archaic navigation technique still practiced in the less known areas of the Indian Ocean, and highlighting the millenary continuity of relations between the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean.
