Le globe synoptique et son vernis craquelé : une histoire matérielle de la production et de l’usage des globes terrestres de Coronelli
Martin Vailly
Abstrak
This paper explores the history of Vincenzo Coronelli’s globes, highlighting the material, social and spatial determinants of their making. My study suggests various ways of writing a complex history of these objects by looking at globes as media in a milieu de savoir, that of the geographically curious in the France of Louis XIV. The environment affects the making and use of globes: their owners had to protect the globes from the outrages of time, exhibit them in order to ease their use and decipher their surface by referring to globe manuals. The study of these operations reveals the role of both human and non-human actors, often overlooked by the history of cartography.
