boxes. The Wardian Case is a comprehensive study of an unfamiliar and forgotten equipment that entices its readers by detailing Ward’s invention and its implications the world over. The book is well written, with a variety of illustrations, some of which are in color, and endnotes which provide supplementary books for any further information about the topic. Overall, while the book may be too academic for some readers, its insightful narrative and discussion on the Wardian case’s impact on empire-building is engaging and will interest a broad audience, such as natural and medical historians, horticulturists, scholars of exploration and discovery, and scholars of imperialism and colonialism.

In the historical research on Sara Baartman, best known as the “Hottentot Venus,” references to and discussions of her autopsy report by Georges Cuvier have been based on the original French text, “Extrait d’observations faites sur le cadavre d’une femme connue à Paris et à Londres sous le nom de Vénus Hottentotte,” published in 1817. For scholars, students and the general public interested in the life of Baartman, an English translation of the autopsy report, with an introduction and a commentary, make an important contribution to Baartman’s biography. Additionally, the project contributes to the history of medicine and, expressly, that of autopsy in the post-Enlightenment age of the First French Empire.
在对萨拉·巴特曼（Sara Baartman）的历史研究中，乔治·居维叶（Georges Cuvier）对她的尸检报告的提及和讨论是基于1817年出版的法语原文《巴黎和伦敦女性尸体调查法》（Extrait d'observations faites sur le cadavre d'une femme connueàParis etàLondres sous le nom de Vénus Hottentote）。对于对巴尔曼生平感兴趣的学者、学生和公众来说，尸检报告的英文译本，包括引言和评论，对巴尔曼的传记做出了重要贡献。此外，该项目有助于医学史，特别是第一法兰西帝国启蒙运动后时代的尸检史。

This article compares two geographically distant and not directly related traditions of constructing the “other” and “otherness” in the Age of Discovery. It discusses the indigenous populations of the Americas and Siberia as portrayed by Spanish and Russian chroniclers of late fifteenth to seventeenth centuries, examining common points and differences in the construction of “the other” and “otherness.” Emphasis is placed on the common elements in viewing the “other” by Spanish and Russian chroniclers, which have origins in works of Greek and Roman authors and in Christian exegesis of the Old and New Testaments. These common points are attribution of animal characteristics and “anomalous” behavior to indigenous peoples of Americas and Siberia, their identification with monstrous races of Classical authors and the Bible, and correlation between the presence of monstrous peoples and fabulous riches, which was the principal motivation to gather all the available information on monsters in distant lands.

Abstract The most important map in American history is the famous Martin Waldseemüller world map of 1507. Despite this position, its geography contains an unanswered mystery: “What current-day geography is represented by its large northwest landmass?” It appears to mimic the coast of North America, and many contemporary authors agree. There is a problem with this conclusion. The coast of North America was not explored until years after this map’s publication. This enigma has been debated for centuries. With the reexamination of maps and information that predates this map (some of which were unavailable to earlier historians), the authors disagree with conventional wisdom and conclude that the continental-sized landmass that superficially resembles North America is actually the island of Cuba, as imagined by Christopher Columbus. Although this has been a minority opinion in the past, the current authors present important new information that leaves their conclusion in little doubt.

I am very pleased to present our Spring 2023 issue TI , which includes three pieces that I trust our readers will find engaging and enlightening—two about cartography and one about piloting vessels. To inform our readers about what they are in store for, I will provide a preview of the pieces in order of appearance. The first piece, coauthored by Donald L. McGuirk Jr. and Gregory C. McIntosh, is entitled “Depicting Cuba, Not North America: Solving the Enigma of America on Early Maps.” Running over 60 pages long and containing more than 300 notes, this is a major piece of scholarship. Thanks to the new journal publishing format of Taylor & Francis that just started in 2023 (based on number of pieces per issue rather than page length), we are now able to publish lengthy articles like this one. (Owing to this change, I encourage authors who are producing long pieces of important scholarship to submit their work to TI .) Not only is this a long and meticulously researched article but also one that makes an important contribution to exploration history scholarship by providing an answer to a long-standing cartographic enigma.

Giovanni da Carignano’s chart is a testimony to the technical development attained by Genoese cartography at the beginning of the fourteenth century. Carignano’s original chart—which was destroyed during World War II—has not been the subject of specific analysis. This study highlights the innovation introduced by Carignano: a new relationship between image and text. In his work, Carignano included descriptive texts that help readers understand the image or provide historical and political information. Moreover, he used cities’ heraldic shields as a tool to communicate territories’ political dimensions. Thus, Carignano overcame the dichotomy between image and text and proposed a new cartographic model found in many charts drawn during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Finally, in the representation of river hydrography, Carignano utilized a graphic style that will only be used by cartographers toward the end of the fifteenth century.
Giovanni da Carignano的图表证明了热那亚制图在14世纪初取得的技术发展。Carignano的原始图表在第二次世界大战期间被毁，目前尚未进行具体分析。这项研究强调了Carignano提出的创新：图像和文本之间的新关系。Carignano在他的作品中加入了描述性文本，帮助读者理解图像或提供历史和政治信息。此外，他使用城市的纹章盾牌作为沟通领土政治层面的工具。因此，Carignano克服了图像和文本之间的二分法，提出了一种新的制图模型，这种模型在14世纪和15世纪绘制的许多图表中都有发现。最后，在河流水文的表示中，Carignano使用了一种只有在15世纪末制图师才会使用的图形风格。
