EDITORS COMMENTS
This 16th-century manuscript print, titled "Planisphere showing the different climatic zones" takes us back in time to explore the world as it was perceived during this era. Created by Portuguese cartographer Lopo Homem, this planisphere offers a unique glimpse into the geographical understanding of that period. The map showcases various climatic zones across the globe, providing valuable insights into how people conceptualized and categorized different regions based on their climate. Notably, this particular edition marks Argentina's first representation on a map, making it an important historical artifact. Displayed at the Istituto e Museo di Storia della Scienza in Florence, Italy, this piece is a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic craftsmanship. The intricate details and delicate colors bring life to each corner of the map while highlighting South America's significance within Latin America. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork by Luisa Ricciarini, we are transported back to a time when cartography was still evolving. It serves as a reminder of humanity's continuous quest for knowledge about our planet and its diverse climates.
