The Mapping of Africa
systematically categorizes and provides an overview of all printed maps
showing the entire African continent published from 1508 to 1700.
The
authors have undertaken a review of the literature, conducted an
exhaustive investigation in many major libraries and private
collections, analyzed these findings, and then compiled information on
174 distinctly separate maps of the African continent.
The Introduction
contains information about the mapping of Africa before 1508, important
world maps which include Africa, and a presentation of the major
cartographic models developed for this book.
