Richly illustrated, this work invites you on a journey through more than twenty centuries of cartography, where we discover how the Indian Ocean was imagined and represented, in the East and in the West, from the first Babylonian maps to the planispheres of the end of the 16th century. He goes beyond describing the emergence of modern cartography from 16th century European navigations; it also considers the knowledge from the large areas of the Old World, from the Far East to Europe, passing through the worlds of Islam, to meet perspectives and explore common approaches which, beyond geographical and cultural distances, have shaped a progressively unified image of this space. By observing the traces, names and illustrations appearing on numerous documents - world maps, diagrams, regional maps, globes and planispheres - constructed at several scales, the reader is thus invited to browse and discover the multiple representations of a vast maritime space common to several cultures.
