Bibliotheca roteirística: Edições impressas em Portugal dos séculos XVII e XVIII

RUTTER Technical Notes are research materials and studies resulting from the activities of members of the Project RUTTER—Making the Earth Global. Although their primary aim is to assist in the various tasks of the RUTTER Team, they are made public in the spirit of academic collaboration and sharing. RUTTER Technical Notes are non-periodic and will cover topics as diverse as the ones that interest the international and multidisciplinary Project’s team. The main objective of the RUTTER Project is to write a narrative of the scaling up of a scientific description of the earth in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and how it grew out of the lived experience of travelling and observing the earth in long-distance sea voyages. It aims at radically improving our present knowledge of the historical processes that led to the formation of global concepts about the earth. The RUTTER Project is the ERC-funded Project “RUTTER—Making the Earth Global: Early Modern Rutters and the Construction of a Global Concept of the Earth” (ERC Advanced Grant 833438; IR: Henrique Leitão, Faculdade de Ciências, University of Lisbon).
