Reviews

The volume, which comes at a time when research on the reception of ancient geography between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries creates a growing space, will be of great use to scholars of the history of cartography, of the history of classical studies and to anyone who wants to understand better what it really means to design the map of a world that has disappeared today. - Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2019 In this handy volume Talbert raises awareness of the methodologies that guide good map-making hand in glove with a survey of the advancement of technology and information that fueled cartographic initiatives from the 19th century into the digital age. - The Classical Journal 2019
