Askmolnet rullar in
New York Times bokblogg Paper Cuts kallar Cartographies of Time för "the most beautiful book of the year", och i ett bildspel hittar jag den just nu väldigt passande bilden ovan, ur Edward Quins kartverk An Historical Atlas; In A Series Of Maps Of The World As Known At Different Periods; Constructed Upon An Uniform Scale, And Coloured According To The Political Changes Of Each Period: Accompanied By A Narrative Of The Leading Events Exhibited In The Maps: Forming Together A General View Of Universal History, From The Creation To A.D. 1828.In successive maps, the clouds roll back to reveal how much of the world was known to the West at the time. The map at left shows the state of the West at the time of the death of Emperor Constantine, in 337.
