TI - Johann Baptist Homann – a forgotten cartographer
AB - The article presents the little-known activity of Johann Baptist Homann from Nuremberg, who is known above all as a cartographer and publisher. It presents a thesis that today he is almost unknown and forgotten in his home town, however, in his time he was a very active participant of the economic and, above all, intellectual life of the town. The great popularity of his maps and atlases meant that he became, to some extent, the creator of the world’s image, while his extensive contacts with scholars, artists and rich merchants led to his involvement in creating the environment of the Nuremberg elite.
