EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 16th-century map, titled "Map of Tenochtitlan. Mexico. General Islario of All the Islands in the World," is a testament to the remarkable cartographic achievements of the Spanish explorers during the Age of Discovery. Created by the chronicler and cosmographer Alonso de Santa Cruz (1505-1567), this map offers a unique perspective into the geographical knowledge of the New World during this period. The map centers on the Valley of Mexico, with Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital city, prominently depicted in the center. The map also includes the surrounding areas, including Texcoco and other lake cities. The lake itself, with its intricate network of canals and islands, is depicted with remarkable detail, reflecting the importance of water transportation in the region. The map is part of a larger work known as the "Islario," a comprehensive atlas of the world's islands. The map's title suggests that Santa Cruz intended to include the islands of the Caribbean and the Pacific in his work, reflecting the expanding horizons of Spanish exploration. The map is rich in detail, with various symbols denoting different features, such as fish to represent bodies of water and boats to indicate ports. The map also includes Latin place names, reflecting the European influence on the naming of places in the New World. The intricate detail and accuracy of this map are a reflection of the advanced cartographic techniques of the time, which relied on a combination of observation, local knowledge, and mathematical calculations. The map is a valuable historical document, offering insights into the geographical knowledge of the New World during the 16th century and the early stages of European colonization.
