6 жыл бұрынChanging images of China and Central Asia from Marco Polo to the Enlightenment
The talk will describe a selection of the unique library’s Special Collection of printed hand-colored maps of China and Asia now exhibited on the KPS gallery on the library’s first floor. It will show how European maps from 1500 to 1750 represented China and “Tartary”, the part of Asia originally dominated by the Mongol Empire of Genghis Khan, starting from Marco Polo’s trip in 1280 and reaching the era of scientific cartography of the 1700s. It will describe different styles of maps and their striking visual features (sea monsters, fantastic city views, comic book-like illustrations).

Interesting conference. But 3 years old video, 30k views and no comments?

So strange. I have never even heard of Tartary before.

Its difficult leaening more about this Tartary place. Id be great to have more scholars approaching the topic instead of laymen who really do have some great things to say. Id like a bit more of cross referencing from some english speakers. Id at least like someone to poke holes in some of the these people are saying
