Though many ancient, medieval, and early modern Europeans relied on these works to understand and explore the relationships between water and earth, particularly sixteenth-century Europeans were especially concerned with why dry land existed. This book investigates why sixteenth-century Europeans were so interested in water's failure to submerge the earth when their predecessors had not been. Analyzing biblical commentaries as well as natural philosophical, geographical, and cosmographical texts from these periods, Lindsay Starkey shows that European sea voyages to the Southern Hemisphere combined with the traditional methods of European scholarship and religious reformations led sixteenth-century Europeans to reinterpret water and earth's ontological and spatial relationships. The manner in which they did so also sheds light on how we can respond to our current water crisis before it is too late. 410 0$aEnvironmental humanities in pre-modern cultures. 606 $aDiscoveries in geography$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aReformation 606 $aReligion and science$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aWater$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 606 $aWater$xSocial aspects$zEurope 607 $aSouthern Hemisphere$xDiscovery and exploration$xHistory$y16th century 610 $aWater, Creation, Reformation, sea voyages, blue humanities, oceanography, early modern. 615 0$aDiscoveries in geography$xHistory 615 0$aReformation. 615 0$aReligion and science$xHistory 615 0$aWater$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 615 0$aWater$xSocial aspects 676 $a910.9 700 $aStarkey$b Lindsay J.$01664401 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809467803321 996 $aEncountering water in early modern Europe and beyond$94022404 997 $aUNINA
