A Statistical Analysis -- Appendix H: The Preface of the Liber de existencia riveriarum -- Bibliography -- Index.The sudden appearance of portolan charts, realistic nautical charts of the Mediterranean and Black Sea, at the end of the thirteenth century is one of the most significant occurrences in the history of cartography. Using geodetic and statistical analysis techniques these charts are shown to be mosaics of partial charts that are considerably more accurate than has been assumed. Their accuracy exceeds medieval mapping capabilities. These sub-charts show a remarkably good agreement with the Mercator map projection. It is demonstrated that this map projection can only have been an intentional feature of the charts’ construction. Through geodetic analysis the author eliminates the possibility that the charts are original products of a medieval Mediterranean nautical culture, which until now they have been widely believed to be.History of Science and Medicine Library52.Nautical chartsHistoryNavigationHistoryCartographyHistoryNautical chartsHistory.NavigationHistory.CartographyHistory.623.89/22Nicolai Roel1705809Nicolai Roel1705809NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910810249403321The enigma of the origin of Portolan charts4092811UNINA
