No people is nameless, and lists of words are as old as writing systems. And yet, both subjects can appear unpromising to historians. This volume shows the contrary by examining the various meanings and functions of ethnonyms in Late Antiquity: added to catalogues of provinces, they reflect the political messages and the regulating power of the imperial bureaucracy; included in schoolbooks, they mirror educational practices and reveal the geographical and ethnic landscapes taught at school; placed on a map, they help make sense of the world in times of transition.

How did Asia come to be represented on European World maps? When and how did Asian Countries adopt a continental system for understanding the world? How did countries with disparate mapping traditions come to share a basic understanding and vision of the globe?
This series of essays organized into sections on Jesuit Circuits of Communication and Publication; Jesuit World Maps in Chinese; Reverberations of Matteo Ricci's Maps in East Asia; and Reflections on the Curation of Cartographic Knowledge, go a long way toward answering these questions about the shaping of our modern understandings of the world.

Colours make the map: they affect the map’s materiality, content, and handling. With a wide range of approaches, 14 case studies from various disciplines deal with the colouring of maps from different geographical regions and periods. Connected by their focus on the (hand)colouring of the examined maps, the authors demonstrate the potential of the study of colour to enhance our understanding of the material nature and production of maps and the historical, social, geographical and political context in which they were made.

Editor-in-Chief:
This series offers comprehensive reference resources for scholars and students working in, or who want to familiarize themselves with map history. The series provides in-depth scholarly articles on the main topics in the field. Brill Research Perspectives in Map History contributes to a better understanding of the field with original and reliable essays about traditional as well as innovative topics about different genres of maps from all periods and cultures from an interdisciplinary point of view. While the series is open to new subjects, it will be focused on “non-current” cartifacts and mapping processes, i.e. historical maps and mappings, the history of cartography and other related topics, which might include their influence or impact on our present days.

This is a peer-reviewed book series exploring and revitalizing the relationship between the history of mapping and the mapping of history. The series editors stimulate to explore the potential of maps for the study of the past, and accordingly the series aims at cross-fertilizing the history of cartography with disciplines such as history, landscape studies, geography, art history, digital humanities, urban planning and heritage studies. Volumes take the study of maps and mapmaking practices as a crucial starting point for understanding the evolutions, representations and imaginations of past societies, landscapes and territories. They may equally present the results of broader collaborative research projects or detailed case studies, insofar they have wider methodological and theoretical relevance. The series has no temporal or geographical limitations and both monographs and coherently presented edited volumes are welcomed.
Authors are cordially invited to submit proposals or full manuscripts to the series editors Bram Vannieuwenhuyze and Iason Jongepier, or to the publisher at Brill, Alessandra Giliberto.

This series on the history of cartography is prepared under the direction of the Research Program Explokart, currently located at the University of Amsterdam.
The research program Explokart ("Exploration and accessibility of Dutch cartographic documents, 16th-20th century") is dedicated to making an inventory, description, and facsimiles of Dutch wall maps, topographical maps, sea charts, hydrographical maps, and globes. The aim of Explokart is to offer guidance to the users of old maps.
The research results of the volunteers of Explokart have resulted in the modern publication series Explokart Studies in the History of Cartography. It is aimed at both researchers and laymen with an interest in these matters.
For an overview of volumes 1-14 of the series, please click here.
This is a new series with an average of two volumes per year.

De gedrukte kaarten van waterschappen en polders tot 1870
Dit rijk geïllusteerde biedt voor het eerst een compleet overzicht van alle gedrukte polder- en waterschapskaarten tot 1870. Watermanagement in deze vorm,het droogmaken van meren en verkavelen van natte gronden, die vaak ook nog onder zeeniveau liggen, is al eeuwenlang iets typisch Nederlands. Verantwoordelijk daarvoor waren de waterschappen, die ervoor zorgen dat het land niet onder water komt te staan en daarom dijken en zeeweringen bewaken en verbeteren. Zij konden – en kunnen – hun werk niet doen zonder kaarten, waarop precies staat welke polders en welke waterlopen er in het gebied zijn. Ook waren kaarten onontbeerlijk voor het inpolderen van meren en plassen. Lang van tevoren werden plannen gemaakt voor zo’n inpoldering.Veel van die plannen zijn niet uitgevoerd. Overzichtskaarten van waterschappen werden niet alleen als gebruikskaart gemaakt, maar als representatie van het waterschap. Deze kaarten zijn vaak overdadig versierd en vrijwel altijd voorzien van de wapenschilden van de bestuurders, zoals de dijkgraaf en (hoog)heemraden.
Bijna 375 kaarten van waterschappen, polders en droogmakerijen – zowel niet uitgevoerde plannen als gerealiseerde polders – worden hier beschreven en geanalyseerd. Met meer dan 900 afbeeldingen worden alle kaarten in kleur, vaak met details die specifieke kenmerken laten zien. Deze cartobibliografie is deel 22 van de Explokart reeks onder leiding van de staf van het onderzoeksprogramma in de geschiedenis van de kartografie bij Allard Pierson aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam.

Author:
This lavishly illustrated book is the first systematic exploration of cartographic cartouches, the decorated frames that surround the title, or other text or imagery, on historic maps. It addresses the history of their development, the sources cartographers used in creating them, and the political, economic, historical, and philosophical messages their symbols convey. Cartouches are the most visually appealing parts of maps, and also spaces where the cartographer uses decoration to express his or her interests—so they are key to interpreting maps. The book discusses thirty-three cartouches in detail, which range from 1569 to 1821, and were chosen for the richness of their imagery. The book will open your eyes to a new way of looking at maps.
