George Tolias, The Greek Portolan Charts 16th -17th century, Athens, Olkos for the NHRF, 1999, GS. 10.
The atlas contains: GS.10.1 (f2v-f3r), maps of the northern and southern hemispheres; GS.10.2 (f3v-f4r), a portolan chart of the western hemisphere; GS.10.3 (f4v-f5r), a portolan chart of Europe, Africa, Asia and part of South America; GS.10.4-5 (f5v-f6r), a double portolan chart of the Black Sea and the eastern Mediterranean; GS.10.6-7 (f6v-f7r), a double portolan chart of the central and western Mediterranean; GS.10.8 (f7r-f8v), a portolan chart of the west coast of the Iberian peninsula and North Africa; GS.10.9 (f8r-f9v), a portolan chart of the coast of western Europe with the British Isles and Ireland; GS.10.10 (f9v-f10v), a portolan chart and topographical map of England, southern Scotland and Ireland; GS.10.11 (f10v-f11r), a portolan chart and topographical map of Crete (La Isola di Candia); GS.10.12 (f11r), a portolan chart and geographical map of Iceland (Islandia); GS.10.13 (f12v), a portolan chart and geographical map of Rhodes (Rodi).
The atlas has 12 leaves containing 12 portolan charts, one geographical map of the northern and southern hemispheres, and a frontispiece bearing the coat-of-arms of the Venetian house of Michiel, also created by Sideri. The frontispiece bears Sideri\'s dedication to Giovanni Francesco Michiel, Duke of Crete, in which apart from formality and respect we can also detect a note of familiarity: Ut pro tot, ac tantis tuis erga Sebeniscus Inllustrissime Ioannis Francisce Michael, Incomparibilis Cretae Consiliarie Georgius tuus Calapoda benignitati In ... tuae qua omnes tui Creteses te uno ore eternis incesum Lauditas ex tossunt alliqus ex parte Gratum se exhibeat hunc artis virtuosisque luce & Losculum magna elaboratum cura tibi virtutu amatori optimo offert, atque dedicat.
The twelve portolan charts are ornamented with plant motifs in all four corners, with the exception of the first chart (f3r-f4v), which has only three ornaments. Sixteen networks of rhumb lines with 28 directions, in sepia, surround the maps when opened, creating a kind of frame similar to that of the 1537 atlas (GS.1). The portolan charts (GS.10.2 to GS.10.10) are extremely simple and have absolutely no ornamentation or information about the hinterland, with the exception of the Black Sea chart (GS.10.4), on which there are three banners: a Christian one in the Crimea and two, one Christian and one Muslim, over Constantinople. On GS.10.2 and GS.10.3 the coastline and islands are picked out in red and blue; on the other charts, the coastline is sepia and only the islands are coloured. In this map, too, there is a degree of archaism in the toponymy which is indicative of the nature both of Sideri\'s sources and of those for whom the atlas was intended. The scholarly sources are particularly obvious on chart GS.10.4-5, where the Black Sea is called Pontus Euxinus rather than the more usual Mare Magiore and the Sea of Azov is Meotis P.[allus].
The introductory map consists of facing heart-shaped depictions of the northern hemisphere (left) and the southern hemisphere (right). They have a common title: GENERALIS TOTIUS URBIS DESCRIPTIO. Above the maps and between the two hemispheres: PARTIM EX VETERIBUS; below the maps and between the two hemispheres: PARTIM EX RECENTIORIBUS COLECTA. The projection of the northern hemisphere has the North Pole at its centre and that of the southern hemisphere the South Pole.
Charts GS.10.2 and GS.10.3 have a scale of latitude at the Equator. These charts do not have scale bars of miglia, the latitude bars standing in for these (Sapi che la misura desta prima taula et della segonda se mesura pigradi). The remaining maps and charts have scale bars and 32-direction wind ross in alternating colour-schemes (red, blue and gold). Apart from some place-names, the portolan charts in the atlas (GS.10.2 - GS.10.9) give no information about the hinterland.
The database “Greek Cartography: the Documents” includes the cartographic work of Greek mapmakers and Greek publishers of maps and cartographic material from the 15th century to 1820. The database contains manuscript and printed maps, atlases and isolarii. The works are either independent either included in geographical, historical or religious editions. Special attention is given to the printing history of the Greek mapmakers’ production. It is a product of the Research Project “Geographical Culture and History of Cartography” supervised by Dr. George Tolias, Research Director INR/NHRF.
