Description

Explore how the Great Discoveries of the 15th and 16th centuries fundamentally transformed European understanding of the world in this scholarly volume from Routledge. This collection examines the emergence of the terraqueous globe concept and traces the remarkable advances in Portuguese navigation and cartography that enabled sailors to overcome the formidable challenges of circumnavigating Africa and crossing the Atlantic. The studies analyse the profound impact of these discoveries on European culture and science, whilst also investigating Portuguese naval art and its role in reshaping global exploration. Essential reading for historians, geographers, and anyone interested in how Renaissance cartography and maritime innovation reshaped the known world and laid the foundations for the modern understanding of global geography.
