The first book of volume 2 of the monumental History of Cartography focuses on mapping in non-Western cultures, an area of study traditionally overlooked by Western scholars. Extensive original research makes this the foremost source for defining, describing, and analyzing this vast and unexplored theater of cartographic history. Book 1 offers a critical synthesis of maps, mapmaking, and mapmakers in the Islamic world and South Asia.
This volume is certain to be the standard reference for all subsequent scholarship, and will certainly contribute to further discoveries, translations, interpretations, inventories, more precise dating and the construction of stemmata.
