Abstract:
Based on recent explorations in European libraries and Archives, I will present newly discovered or rediscovered maps and globes with new depictions of China produced by Jesuit mapmakers and Italian cosmographers between the late 16th and the early 17th century, the formative period of the European cartographic image of China and East Asia.
