Abstract
on The of this ‘ West ’ and its implications for the overall history of portolan charts are to be explored in future research. Reconstructing the life and work of a complex indi-vidual Vespucci forced to ask questions about the causes and nature of the epoch- making events in which he was involved and has to fresh perspectives and unexpected fi ndings on the broader topic of Renaissance cartography.

期刊介绍:
The English-language, fully-refereed, journal Imago Mundi was founded in 1935 and is the only international, interdisciplinary and scholarly journal solely devoted to the study of early maps in all their aspects. Full-length articles, with abstracts in English, French, German and Spanish, deal with the history and interpretation of non-current maps and mapmaking in any part of the world. Shorter articles communicate significant new findings or new opinions. All articles are fully illustrated. Each volume also contains three reference sections that together provide an up-to-date summary of current developments and make Imago Mundi a vital journal of record as well as information and debate: Book Reviews; an extensive and authoritative Bibliography.
