| Sumario: | Since the early decades of the invasion and beginning of European occupation in America, numerous works and accounts have been written about the nature and geography of the New World. This knowledge was used by the cartographers who mapped the continent as it unfolded vis-à-vis the Europeans. The maps of the period, therefore, were constructed from the experience of exploration expeditions; of the remnants of a knowledge previously held; of myths, modern and ancient; and indigenous knowledge present in all expeditions. From these factors, this article proposes to unravel some relations between the first two. The experience of the expeditions that traveled the continent, produces geographic knowledge and shows a ground level territory. From many operations, this knowledge is translated into maps and planispheres. From a set of manuscript maps of the first century of colonization of the region, I seek to understand the relationships between the different types of geographic knowledge produced by imperial agents. I assume that the manuscript maps can be considered articulators in two ways. First, between knowledge on the ground floor, made through the knowledge of space practices, and the small scale of the imperial planispheres, proper places for the exhibition of the products of that knowledge. Second, they can also articulate the non-modern conceptions of itinerary maps or routes and the modern cartography of the abstract and homogeneous space that appeared in the period |
