Title: The spacious word
First published: 2004
Description: "The Spacious Word explores the history of Iberian expansion into the Americas as seen through maps and cartographic literature and considers the relationship between early Spanish ideas of the world and the origins of European colonialism. Spanish mapmakers and writers, as Padron shows, clung to a much older idea of space that was based on the itineraries or travel narratives and medieval navigational techniques."--Jacket.
