Now he plumbs the mystery of a single artifact that offers new insights into global connections centuries old.In 2009, an extraordinary map of China was discovered in Oxford's Bodleian Library--where it had first been deposited 350 years before, then stowed and forgotten for nearly a century. Neither historians of China nor cartography experts had ever seen anything like it. It was so odd that experts would have declared it a fake--yet records confirmed it had been delivered to Oxford in 1659. The "Selden Map," as it is known, was a puzzle that needing solving. Brook, a historian of China, set out to explore the riddle. His investigation will lead readers around this elegant, enigmatic work of art, and from the heart of China, via the Southern Ocean, to the court of King James II. In the story of Selden's map, he reveals for us the surprising links between an English scholar and merchants half a world away, and offers novel insights into the power and meaning that a single map can hold. Brook delivers the same anecdote-rich narrative, intriguing characters, and unexpected historical connections that made Vermeer's Hat an instant classic"-- Selden, John 1584-1654 (DE-588)118796127 gnd Selden, John 1584-1654 Private collections Selden, John 1584-1654 fast Selden Map of China (DE-588)1049313402 gnd Sammler (DE-588)4179037-6 gnd Historische Karte (DE-588)4238091-1 gnd Entdeckungsreise (DE-588)4014842-7 gnd Historische Geografie (DE-588)4025103-2 gnd Kartografie (DE-588)4029823-1 gnd Cartography South China Sea History Sources Geography, Ancient South China Sea Maps HISTORY Asia China bisacsh TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING Cartography bisacsh HISTORY Europe Great Britain bisacsh Cartography fast Discoveries in geography fast Geography, Ancient fast Private collections fast Südchinesisches Meer (DE-588)4058412-4 gnd China (DE-588)4009937-4 gnd South China Sea Maps, Manuscript Early works to 1800 South China Sea Discovery and exploration Maps Early works to 1800 South China Sea fast http://unisg.link/hm00433924 Inhaltsverzeichnis BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 UHS-201605 nebis EN IDSSG HSG HSG UG RR 69217 B871 NEBIS UHS UHS ULHS ND 18028 NEBIS UAOI UAOI ULASO UAOIO C 207/33 IDSSG 100 1- Brook Timothy IDSSG 856 4- http://unisg.link/hm00433924 Inhaltsverzeichnis NEBIS 100 1- Brook Timothy 1951- (DE-588)136060188 Verfasser aut SWISSBIB 303603798
