From the Renaissance to the mid-nineteenth century, however, they were indispensable tools for the study of geography and astronomy. Beginning with an overview of early globes, the authors examine how the modern era in globe making, which began in Flemish and Dutch shops in the early seventeenth century, show how globe making spread throughout Europe, and explain how what were both decorative and scientific objects became symbols of power, universal knowledge, intellectual status, and personal vanity. Beginning with the collection's earliest globe, dated 1533, the authors introduce us to the life and works of some of the greatest Dutch, French, English, German, Italian, and Swedish globe makers. The 120 colour illustrations allow the reader to savour these rare and unusual works and include numerous detailed reproductions of both terrestrial and celestial map images. Sphæræ Mundi charts developments and changes over three centuries of globe making, considering the globes as indicators of scientific advance and geographical exploration as well as artifacts and providing a unique opportunity to become familiar with these complex and beautiful objects. 606 $aGlobes$xHistory 606 $aCelestial globes$xHistory 606 $aCartography$xHistory 615 0$aGlobes$xHistory. 615 0$aCelestial globes$xHistory. 615 0$aCartography$xHistory. 676 $a912 700 $aDahl$b Edward, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01573811 701 $aDahl$b Edward H$01573812 701 $aGauvin$b Jean-Franc?ois$f1969-$01275514 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782641403321 996 $aSphaerae mundi$93849710 997 $aUNINA
