| Abstract | From the 15th century onwards in Latin Europe, new types of maps emerged, regional and portolan, for instance. This occurred as new types of spatial visualization and graphic representation came into play. Consequently, maps came to be used more than descriptive texts when spatial representations were required. Speakers in this session discuss these novel processes and their consequences, not the least as used by the creators and sponsors of the maps. |
