Chet Van Duzer has published extensively on medieval and Renaissance maps in journals
such as Imago Mundi, Terrae Incognitae and
Word & Image. He is also the author of Johann
Schöner’s Globe of 1515: Transcription and Study, the first detailed analysis of
one of the earliest surviving terrestrial globes that includes the New World; and
(with John
Hessler) Seeing the World Anew: The Radical Vision of Martin
Waldseemüller’s 1507 & 1516 World Maps. His book Sea Monsters
on Medieval and Renaissance Maps was published in 2013 by the British Library, and in 2014 the Library of Congress published a
study of Christopher Columbus’s Book of Privileges which he
co-authored with John Hessler and Daniel De Simone. His current book projects are
a study of
Henricus Martellus’s world map of c. 1491 at Yale University based on multispectral
imagery,
and the commentary for a facsimile of the 1550 manuscript world map by Pierre Desceliers,
which will be published by the British Library.
