<b>Sea Monsters on Medieval and Renaissance Maps</b> The sea monsters on medieval and Renaissance maps are one of their most visually engaging elements, and yet they have never before been carefully studied. The subject is important not only in the history of cartography, art, and zoological illustration, but also in the history of the geography of the marvelous and Western conceptions of the ocean. Moreover, the sea monsters depicted on maps can supply important insights into the sources, influences, and methods of the cartographers who drew or painted them. In this wonderfully illustrated book the book author analyses the more important examples of sea monsters on maps produced in Europe, beginning with the earliest <i>mappaemundi</i> on which they appear in the tenth century and continuing to the end of the sixteenth century. The book will be the standard work on the subject for years to come.
