The monumental records of the ancient oriental world are so numerous, and so much new material is continually being brought to light, that it is difficult for either contributors or editors to keep pace with the discoveries that are constantly being made.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Records of the Past, 1905, Vol. 4 If we turn from the bases to the capitals, the same attempt to produce new and striking forms at once appears. The capitals of the terminal columns were probably of the normal Ionic type, like those of the 3 standing columns. But some at least of the remaining capitals were quite different in form, as is evident from sculptured fragments which still exist. One of these presents the head of Zeus (fig. Another the head of an ox, a third the head of Apollo. The heads of Zeus and of Apollo emanate from that portion of the capital usually occupied by the volute; the ox-head was a central ornament between the lateral heads. Possibly with Zeus was associated a head of Hera, possibly with Apollo was a head Of Artemis. Other divinities were doubtless represented, especially Poseidon and Amphitrite. But such other heads have not been found. That the Greeks of Ionia were will ing at an early date to give up the volute and substitute some other form may be seen from an archaic capital from Ephesus now in the British Museum, in which large rosettes take the place of the lateral. Volute. In the Apollo temple, however, we have a very Significant ex ample, if not the earliest, of the introduction of anthropomorphic forms in the place of the stereotyped volute of the capital.

Download or read book The History of Cartography Volume 4 written by Matthew H. Edney and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2020-05-15 with total page 1803 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its launch in 1987, the History of Cartography series has garnered critical acclaim and sparked a new generation of interdisciplinary scholarship. Cartography in the European Enlightenment, the highly anticipated fourth volume, offers a comprehensive overview of the cartographic practices of Europeans, Russians, and the Ottomans, both at home and in overseas territories, from 1650 to 1800. The social and intellectual changes that swept Enlightenment Europe also transformed many of its mapmaking practices. A new emphasis on geometric principles gave rise to improved tools for measuring and mapping the world, even as large-scale cartographic projects became possible under the aegis of powerful states. Yet older mapping practices persisted: Enlightenment cartography encompassed a wide variety of processes for making, circulating, and using maps of different types. The volume’s more than four hundred encyclopedic articles explore the era’s mapping, covering topics both detailed—such as geodetic surveying, thematic mapping, and map collecting—and broad, such as women and cartography, cartography and the economy, and the art and design of maps. Copious bibliographical references and nearly one thousand full-color illustrations complement the detailed entries.
