Description:
Nicosia: Politistiko Hidryma Trapezes Kyprou, 1999. Brand new. In english. Soft cover, 30X22.5 cm, 48 pp., ill. Despite its great attraction for the layman, the development of the sea chart cannot be understood without reference to the progress achieved in the fields not only of cartography but also of mathematics, astronomy and instrument making. From the early thirteenth-century sea charts on vellum to the nineteenth-century sophisticated British hydrographical surveys, chart-making underwent a variety of phases ranging from the Mediterranean portolans to the French eighteenth-century school of organized hydrography.
