Working with old maps: Charting the reception and legacy of Blaeu's 1654 Atlas Novus

Abstract The paper examines the reception and the legacy of Joan Blaeu's Atlas Novus (1654). Drawing upon work in book history, attention is paid to issues of reception and readership, including Sir John Scot's amendments of Blaeu's work, and to the enduring cartographic legacy of Blaeu's mapped outline of Scotland in the work of several later map makers and Scottish historians.
