Summary/Abstract: Book review: Florin-Stefan MORAR, Connected Cartographies: World Geography and the Sino-Western Translation of Knowledge, 1580-1842, Cambridge University Press, 2025, ISBN 978-1-009-63603-2, 256 p. Florin-Stefan Morar’s Connected Cartographies: World Geography and the Sino-Western Translation of Knowledge, 1580-1842, represents a valuable unification of multiple areas of study that are flourishing in recent decades, such as translation studies, comparative history, and humanist cartography, following other such endeavours, like Piechocki’s Cartographic Humanism. The volume seeks to analyze how cross-cultural exchanges of cartographic knowledge between the Western world and China have shaped both spaces’ approach to map-making.
