| Summary: | I open the chapter by considering the medieval tradition of Deus artifex, that is, that God acted as an artist in creating the world, and specifically the tradition of Deus pictor, God as a painter who painted the world – or an image of the world – into existence. This idea speaks potently of the creative power of colour, and map colourists had this same power: the colouring could change land into sea, or sea into land. I then proceed to examine early maps in which the colourists made errors that changed the world’s geography, including a copy of Bartolomeo dalli Sonetti’s isolario of ca. 1485 sold by Christie’s in 2016, the copy of the "German Ptolemy" of ca. 1493 at the New York Public Library, and the copy of Benedetto Bordone’s world map of 1528 in the Sidney R. Knafel Map Collection. Colour could also be used to correct mistakes on maps, and I will examine examples of such correction in the "Admiral’s Map" in the 1513 edition of Ptolemy’s Geography in Colmar, and the Wilczek-Brown Codex of Ptolemy’s Geography in the John Carter Brown Library. |
