The third book of Galvaneus’s Cronica universalis contains an extensive geographical digression, which makes use of three kinds of sources: encyclopedic material, rather recent travel accounts (the ones by Marco Polo, Odoric of Pordenone, John of Pian di Carpine, John of Montecorvino and by a mysterious Dominican friar called Simon) and, most likely, oral testimonies. This article examines Galvaneus’s re-use of geographical sources, by reproducing and analyzing selected passages of the book (displayed both in Latin and in English translation). The purpose is to shed light on Galvaneus’s working method, on his knowledge of the world, and on the role he played in the survival of lesser-known or unknown texts.

thing useful in Terraciano’s presentation of the Codex Sierra. Historians of discovery and exploration will not find any explorers here, but some references to indigenous mapping and land practices, which are useful to recall. Terraciano’s main point that the colonial encounter between “conquerors” and the “conquered” was always a complicated dance of hybridization and accommodation is always rewarding to remember and exhibited well here.

Galvaneus Flamma (or Galvaneus de la Flamma; it. Galvano Fiamma) was a Dominican friar who lived in Milan (northern Italy) in the first half of the fourteenth century; the date of his death is not certain, but can be placed around 1345. He was a teacher of theology and philosophy, trained in the schools of his religious order; in his later years, he established close relationships with the Visconti family – who held the lordship over Milan at the time – and was appointed secretary and counselor of them. He wrote several works, devoted to both the history of the Dominicans, and the history of Milan. The last of these works, called Cronica universalis, goes beyond the local dimension and aspires to encompass the history of the whole world and of all ages, from the Creation to his own time. But he failed to complete such an ambitious program: the work remained unfinished halfway through the fourth book out of the fifteen planned, reaching the time of the biblical

In his Cronica universalis Galvaneus Flamma refers to two cartographic artifacts. The first is a diagram of the winds placed within a cosmological frame, which lists the names of the winds in accordance with both “scientific” tradition and seafaring experience; this diagram intertwines two sources of knowledge, as would be expected in a scholarly milieu receptive to the suggestion of geographical practice. The other is a mappa Ianuensis, i.e. a map drawn in Genoa or kept in Genoa at the time, which Galvaneus mentions three times in his work; according to Galvaneus’s mentions, this map depicted the entire globe, and was much more extensive than a portolan chart. Both elements bring new light about the author’s geographical interests and sources, and add some small tiles to the mosaic of fourteenth-century cartography.
