"The First Printed #World Map from #IsidoreOfSeville's '#Etymologies', [...] often referred to as the first #encyclopaedia. It contained information on a very wide range of topics. The 'Etymologies' were a hugely influential source of knowledge for many centuries. [...] The use of stunning rubrication - applying red highlights by hand to significant printed capital letters - shows the intersection between #handwritten #manuscripts and the newly invented #printingpress. The T-O #map illustrating this page is the earliest printed European world map. [...] Date of production : 1472."

That fascination for #maps, the eye (gaze) and #immersiveinterfaces of wealthy men specialized in #extraction.
