Abstract(s)
Existem razões que ajudam a explicar o porquê de a cartografia europeia da Idade Moderna ser alvo de uma atenção particular quando comparada com aquela que se dispensou a outras notáveis tradições cartográficas da mesma época, como a árabe ou a chinesa. O mais decisivo desses motivos terá que ver com o confronto que ela praticou entre uma figuração mítica do horizonte do mundo e a exploração objectiva desse mesmo horizonte.
There are several reasons that help to explain just why European cartography from de Modern Age has come in for particular attention when compared with that paid to the other notable cartographic traditions of the same period, such as the Arabian or Chinese. The most telling of these motives relates to the confrontation that took place between the mythical depiction of the world’s horizons and the objective exploration of those same horizons.
