Abstract

This book reconstructs the lost history of the "Fool's Cap Map," a printed engraving that appeared anonymously in Antwerp in 1590. A careful reconstruction of the image's history not only reveals the image's maker but also ties its message to a short-term Catholic rejection of flat world maps.
