Wer bringt mich zum Start nach Mallorca und ermöglicht es mir auf den Seefahrtsrouten bis China zu Reisen?

About This Item

MAPAMUNDI /Katalanischer Weltatlas (Quelle Wikipedia)
Der Katalanische Weltatlas ist ein um 1375 in der Kartenwerkstätte von Abraham und Jehuda Cresques auf Mallorca entstandener Atlas. Er besteht aus insgesamt sechs Doppelbildern, 64 Zentimeter × 50 Zentimeter groß, die als sogenannte Portolan-Karten die Küsten und Häfen einiger Gegenden mit besonderer Genauigkeit abbilden.

Der Atlas zeigt die damals bekannte Welt vom Atlantik bis nach China. Er basiert auf Informationen, die sich die jüdische Familie Cresques von Seefahrern verschaffte, deren Routen über den Knotenpunkt Mallorca verliefen.

Der Atlas wurde im Jahr 1380 von König Peter IV. von Aragón an den französischen König Karl V. verschenkt. Er wird bis heute in der Französischen Nationalbibliothek in Paris unter der Signatur Espagnol 30 (auch Esp. 30) aufbewahrt.

Der katalanische Weltatlas und einige andere Karten des 14. und 15. Jahrhunderts, die erhalten geblieben sind, zeigen einige Inseln im Atlantik, die auf keiner heutigen Karte eingezeichnet sind. Diese sogenannten Phantominseln existierten nur in der Vorstellung damaliger Seefahrer. In Wirklichkeit gibt es sie nicht.

Eine mappa mundi (lat., Mehrzahl: mappae mundi) ist eine mittelalterliche Weltkarte in der Tradition europäischer Kartografie. Aufgrund der früheren ptolemäischen Tradition gibt es teilweise Bezüge zu den islamischen Karten dieser Zeit. Der zeitliche Schlusspunkt dieser Kartenart liegt im 15. Jahrhundert, als die Seefahrt Entdeckungen und die Kartografie Fortschritte machten.

The Catalan Atlas (Catalan: Atles català, Eastern Catalan: [ˈalːəs kətəˈla], archaic spelling: Atlas Catalan) is the most important map of the medieval period in the Catalan language (drawn and written in 1375).[1][2] It was produced by the Majorcan cartographic school and is attributed to Cresques Abraham (also known as "Abraham Cresques"), a Jewish book illuminator who was self-described as a master of the maps of the world as well as compasses.[3] It has been in the royal library of France (now the Bibliothèque nationale de France) since the time of King Charles V. The Catalan Atlas originally consisted of six vellum leaves (each circa 65cm by 50cm) folded vertically, painted in various colors including gold and silver. These were cut in half later, and mounted on wooden panels enclosed in a leather binding.

The first two leaves contain texts in Catalan covering cosmography, astronomy, and astrology. These texts are accompanied by illustrations. The texts and illustration emphasize the Earth's spherical shape and the state of the known world. They also provide information to sailors on tides and how to tell time at night.

The four remaining leaves make up the actual map, with Jerusalem located close to the centre; two depict the Orient and the remaining two Europe and North Africa. The map is around 1.3 square metres in size. The map shows illustrations of many cities, Christian cities with a cross, other cities with a dome, and with each city's political allegiance indicated by a flag. Wavy blue vertical lines are used to symbolize oceans. Place names of important ports are transcribed in red, while others are indicated in black. The illustrations and most of the text are oriented towards the edges of the map, suggesting it was intended to be used by laying it flat and walking around it. [4]

The oriental portion of the Catalan Atlas illustrates numerous religious references as well as a synthesis of medieval mappae mundi and the travel literature of the time, especially Marco Polo's Book of Marvels and Mandeville's Travels and Voyage of Sir John Mandeville. Many Indian and Chinese cities can be identified. The explanatory texts report customs described by Polo and catalogue local economic resources, real or supposed.

The Western portion is similar to contemporary portolan charts, but contains the first compass rose known to have been used on such a chart.

Mappa ist ursprünglich ein weißes, ausgebreitetes Tuch.
A mappa mundi (Latin [ˈmappa ˈmʊndiː]; plural = mappae mundi) is any medieval European map of the world. Such maps range in size and complexity from simple schematic maps 25 millimetres (1 inch) or less across to elaborate wall maps, the largest of which was 3.5 m (11 ft 6 in) in diameter. The term derives from the Medieval Latin words mappa (cloth or chart) and mundi (of the world).

Approximately 1,100 mappae mundi are known to have survived from the Middle Ages. Of these some 900 are found illustrating manuscripts and the remainder exist as stand-alone documents.
