Literature on Johann Baptista Homann’s Maps and Activities, with Particular Emphasis on Radosław Skrycki’s Exhibition Catalogue

Summary/Abstract: Radosław Skrycki, Johann Baptista Homann (1664–1724) – kartograf i jego światy. Katalog wystawy z okazji 300. rocznicy śmierci, Zespół Historii Kartografii przy Instytucie Historii Nauki PAN, Szczecin, Warszawa 2024, ss. 112, 46 opisów, 46 ilustracjiThe author examines and characterizes the existing literature on Johann Baptista Homann’s maps and work. She demonstrates, with examples, the complexities involved in distinguishing different editions or states of selected maps and addresses errors and omissions that have historically stemmed from researchers’ limited access to highquality images of cartographic materials. The discussion focuses on two significant older publications about Homann: Christian Sandler’s work, which focuses mainly on the content and intellectual aspects of Homann’s maps, and Wilhelm Eberle’s detailed, archival-based study of Homann’s life and work, which reveals many previously unknown facts. Lastly, the analysis covers the latest publication – Radosław Skrycki’s catalogue – which highlights the richness and diversity of Homann’s work.
