Hessler, John W. (Author)
This new volume, and accompanying special microsite, is the first volume in the English language to give context to the extraordinary life and seminal work of mathematician and scientist Johannes Schöner (d. 1543). The Schöner Sammelband, his collection of maps and notes, includes the original World Maps made by Martin Waldseemüller, a star chart by Albrecht Dürer and a set of celestial globe gores of Schöner's design. The survival of Schöner's notebooks and annotations is unique in the history of cartography; not only do they show his thinking about theoretical and practical geography, but they also reveal the art of mapmaking during his lifetime. Author John Hessler discusses Schöner's opinions on the then canonical geography of Ptolemy, and his reaction to the new discoveries of Columbus and Vespucci. The notebooks offer an unprecedented insight into the history of these materials, and into the geographical concerns that fuelled cartographic development during this critical period in the history of science and exploration.
