These missionaries belonged to the very small group of Europeans who lived in the forests of the Amazon Basin for longer periods, in close contact with local people. Their daily experiences in the mission, their high level of education, and their connection with the institutional structures of the Jesuit order made them key figures in the production of knowledge about the Amazon. Irina Saladin investigates the complex relationships between mission and knowledge in the context of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Jesuit maps. She analyzes how Jesuit missionary practices shaped the cartographic representation of the Amazon in the early modern era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Irina Saladin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9463725652\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789463725651\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amsterdam University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Irina Saladin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46401615724799,"sku":"9789463725651","price":155.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c15143ce-a820-4e00-849c-cd6e1ec8a40a.jpg?v=1733888126","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jesuit-missionary-cartography-of-the-irina-saladin-9789463725651","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
