Description
Between 1536 and 1564 an enterprising Genoese
chartmaker, Battista Agnese, produced in Venice a number of remarkably accurate
and beautifully decorated nautical or "portolan" atlases on vellum for
merchant princes and ranking officials. A version of this oval world map
appeared in each of the seventy-one such atlases that have survived. This CD
contains the entire Agnese Atlas (14 maps) in MrSid format. This format allows
you to see the entire map or drill down for the smallest details. If you printed
one of these maps at full size, it would be about 36"x36" (way more
than can fit on a computer screen) so you can imagine how much detail they all
have. (MrSID software is included on the CD.)

University of Michigan Press
Author Naomi Reed Kline
Distributor The
University of Michigan Press
Description A Wheel of Memory: The
Hereford Mappamundi on CD-ROM enables users to explore one of the most
fascinating medieval documents known. The Hereford Mappamundi is a late
thirteenth century world map approximately five feet in diameter. The only
extant, large-scale medieval map of this type, it provides a paradigm for
understanding the medieval world view. Its more than one thousand texts and
images present a panoramic view of the intellectual and conceptual framework of
the Middle Ages. Covering both religious and secular material, they include
descriptions of geographical subjects, monuments, animals, races, biblical sites
and incidents, legendary material, historical information, and more. The CD-ROM
presentation enables the modern viewer to process the thousands of bits of
information contained in the map in ways not dissimilar to the Middle Ages, when
viewers approached the map differently depending on their literacy, education,
and background. But multimedia technology also gives today's viewers access to
additional material; for instance, the map's pictures and inscriptions are
linked to textual and artistic sources, providing avenues of inquiry across
disciplines. A Wheel of Memory will be attractive to a broad spectrum of
viewers, from the none-specialist interested in the Middle Ages to teachers and
students of medieval history, art, and geography.

Empire, and in that the historical Hungary, was conducted between 1763 and 1785.
About 3400 handwritten, coloured sections (aspect ratio 1:28.800) were made in
the framework of several independent surveys, to cover the whole area of the
Empire. In Hungary original sized, colour copies of the maps can be found in the
War History Institute and Museum, we have used these for this issue. On the DVD
there are also two essays about surveying. The earlier, that was published in
the Térképészeti Közlöny between the two World Wars, is the work of two
archivists, Andor Borbély and Júlia Nagy, and was the only literary adaptation
for long decades. The results of newer research are summarized in the manuscript
of Annamária Jankó, with numerous appendices.

Description When you want to know what has been
discussed in the messages sent to MapHist since 8 March 1994, you can download the
archives files. The MapHist archives are monthly notebook files: all messages are in
chronological order, including all internet headers, original messages in replies, wrongly
posted messages and junk-mail. Since going through the notebook files can be very
irritating, I started editing the text by removing unnecessary replies and junk mail. One
thing led to another and the result was a fairly faithful hard copy of the discussions, to
which I added a general index with subjects, personal names, regions etc. I myself had
some pleasant hours in reading all this stuff. Assuming that other MapHisters would prefer
to read hard copies instead of staring at a computer screen or reading one's own printouts
cluttered up with junk and duplicate information, I provided copies of these messages at
the cost of printing and mailing. In 1997 the number of messages was so large, that the
printed version would have over 500 pages. Then I decided the publish it on a CD-Rom in a
PDF-format, fully indexed with Acrobat reader

Description Actually
nobody should say anything against the fact, that most of travelers' maps are
divided into two big groups: for those travelling by own (company, rented, etc.)
car, and for those travelling without a car. These two groups are almost same
big, but starting from late 1950s and, especially, from 1970s, nearly all the
maps had started being intended for the first group mainly. In fact, it had been
becoming seeming that the railroads are sentenced to inescapable loss to motor
road transport - much more flexible and individual from any point of view. Not
stations and traffic details only, the whole rail track networks has simply
disappeared from map images. The new millennium turning point changes the
general attitude towards mass transit in general and, to railroads, in peculiar.
Thus the rumors upon the forthcoming death of rail transporting appeared to
occur overstated from any point of view. And we are sure that the class of maps,
near to be totally missing now, should revive. The Discus Media project presents
a new series or country railway maps. They are intended for business and leisure
travelers, freight forwarders and railway enthusiasts and, may be, much more.
The printed publication series is based on the most possible actual and
up-to-date rail network databases for the whole European continent, that makes
also a good basement for compiling all this data, when verified and complete, to
the Great Railway Atlas of Europe. And, based on our experience and abilities,
it is coming - in both traditional printed, offline and online versions!

1900 European Map Collection
Distributor Discus Media Group, P. O. Box

Description The "1900" Map
Collection possesses over 700 images of maps, published 100 (or above) years ago.
It represents the European cities, towns, vicinities, areas and entire countries
and groups of countries they did appear at the break of 19th and 20th centuries.
Much water did flow under the bridges since then. Two great wars had changed the
continent dramatically - the entire empires did sink into oblivion, new
independent states had appeared on the map of Europe. The last newly independent
members of the continental neighborhood and commonwealth had originated from the
former socialist Yugoslavia a decade ago. The maps, that are stored in the
collection, are systemized by image names alphabetical order. The index has two
independent entries - one for the year 1900, another - for the year 2000. This
is done according to the geopolitical situation, actual to yesteryears, when the
maps were drawn and published, and to exact nowadays, when you are visiting our
pages. Web site features the latest state of the collection. We refresh the
contents constantly, as the collection is being replenished to cover more and
more cities, towns and sites of the continent, untouched by great upheavals yet.

Description
This CD collection contains rare antique maps
and descriptive pages in MrSid format. This format allows you to see the entire
map or drill down for the smallest details. If you printed one of these maps at
full size, it would be about 36"x36" or larger (way more than can fit
on a computer screen) so you can imagine how much detail they all have. (MrSID
software is included on the CD.)
Title Walking
in Edo-Tokyo with Antique Map
Distributor APP
Company http://www.app-beya.com/
Description A
CD-ROM production by Keishi Nakagawa, a contemporary graphic designer and
illustrator, aiming to view the world of Edo through the Owariya Edo Street
Maps, is now available on the market. The uniqueness of this CD-ROM is that one
can compare places on the old Edo map and the current Tokyo map by combining old
maps and current scientific maps on a computer screen. This epoch-making offline
resource provides the pleasure of not only viewing maps but also walking on
actual streets on the map to understand geographical information and life in the
Edo period. Due to its aspects of game and entertainment, contemporary users who
have grown up in a culture with pervasive electronic images will find this
CD-ROM satisfying, above and beyond the interesting contents. Viewing back and
forth between Edo and Tokyo, which is an unattainable feature through a printed
map, it demonstrates descriptive methods and functions achieved only through
digital media. Including comparisons with the Owariya Edo Street Maps,
Hiroshige's Edo woodblock prints, landmarks in Edo, and explanation of social
conditions and city planning in the Edo period, the CD-ROM is an indispensable
tool for exploring the old city. It might be worthwhile to reconstruct and
reexperience the premodern world through new technology in the twenty-first
century. Perhaps one could gain a greater sense of intimacy towards the
protagonists in Edo literature and be able to understand the Edo culture more
personally.
