      • For all book lovers,

        a piece of Oceanic History.

         

        «Il libro è come il cucchiaio, il martello, la ruota, le forbici.

        Una volta che li hai inventati non puoi fare di meglio.»

        UMBERTO ECO

      • This site is an offshoot of the ERC Project «RUTTER: Making the Earth Global», led by HENRIQUE LEITÃO. Early modern nautical rutters (sailing directions) are the earliest Western documents that testify to the stable and regular lived experience of traversing the earth’s oceans on a global, planetary scale.

         

        The virtual collection A Sea of Books was born —almost by chance— as a bibliographical resource of the RUTTER Project. It is a useful tool to begin a reflection on a sheer variety of literary genres produced from the Early Modern experience of voyaging in open sea.

        The deep affinity shared between traveling long distances and writing kickstarted a colossal printing industry from the very beginning of the 16th century. The open sea influenced the imagination of generations of travelers, explorers, cosmographers, men of letters and common people in vastly different ways, engaging with concepts from marine ecology, science, oceanography, marine policy and environmental history.

         

        In this website you will find a constellation of specialized virtual libraries on maritime literature, organized in various sections. Every section is continuously updated.

         

        All the sources are open–access.

      • Portuguese printed rutters (17th–18th centuries)

        Curated by Luana Giurgevich

         

        In a context where knowledge was reported mostly by word of mouth, the action of writing itself assumes significant meaning. Over the years, the pilots’ routine task of remembering oceanic routes became a well–defined textual genre. The majority of these documents remained unpublished until the 19 century, but there is an important number of them which started to be printed in Europe for a larger audience from the 16 century. In this section, we gather all Portuguese editions of nautical rutters.

      • Jan Huygen van Linschoten’s Itinerario

        Editions & translations (1596–1668)

         

        Curated by Nuno Vila–Santa

         

        Linschoten’s Itinerario fascinated European readers of his times and continues to provide a wealth of details about Portuguese sea routes and trade to India. The book quickly turned into several editions (around 30) and became a 17th–century best–seller of maritime literature. Sailors used it as a navigation manual and this is the reason why it was shipped on board Dutch, English and French vessels.

      • Jesuit travel reports concerning oceanic sailing

        Curated by David Salomoni

         

        This selection contains texts related to oceanic voyages made by members of religious orders, mainly Jesuits but also Franciscans and secular priests. Serial publications such as notices and annual reports (Notizie, Relazioni) from the missions have been excluded. Diaries and single reports of voyages which are not part of regular series have been included. These works contain information of scientific or devotional kind concerning the oceanic travel experience of religious people.

      • Pedro de Medina’s Arte de navegar

        Editions & translations (1545–1634)

         

        Curated by Luana Giurgevich

         

        Some books moved the imagination of all Europe more than others. Pedro de Medina's Arte de navegar is one of them.

        The book was translated at least 20 times. Originally published in 1545, it was quickly translated into Italian and French, but, curiously, not to Dutch and English until 1580–1581.
