Recenzija se osredotoča na knjigo *Zgodovinska kartografija ozemlja Slovenije* avtorja Primoža Gašperiča, ki je izšla kot 37. zvezek zbirke *Geografija Slovenije* in nadaljuje delo *Kartografski zakladi Slovenije* iz leta 2020. Knjiga obravnava zgodovino kartografskega razvoja na slovenskem ozemlju z uporabo enotne metodologije analize starih zemljevidov.
Uvodni del knjige pojasnjuje temeljne kartografske pojme ter razvoj evropske kartografije od njenih začetkov do 20. stoletja. Sledi predstavitev kartografskih elementov, razdeljenih na naravne značilnosti (površje, rastlinstvo, vode), grajene strukture, meje ter poimenovanja krajev, rek in objektov. Knjiga se osredotoča na analizo 58 zemljevidov srednjega merila, vključno z znanimi primeri, kot so Tabula Peutingeriana (1619), zemljevid Istre Pietra Coppa (1525) ter zemljevida Janeza Dizme Florjančiča in Petra Kozlerja.
Avtor predstavi tudi matematične elemente, kot so merilo in kartografska mreža, ter pojasnjevalne elemente, med njimi naslov, legendo, kolofon in dekoracije. Pomemben del analize je uporaba standardiziranega obrazca, ki omogoča primerjavo zemljevidov in sledenje zgodovinskemu razvoju prikazanih elementov.
Zaključni del knjige vključuje sezname virov, literature in podatkov o obravnavanih zemljevidih. Recenzija poudarja, da so zemljevidi pomembni ne le kot geografski prikazi, temveč tudi kot kulturni spomeniki in dokumenti časa. Opozarja tudi na pomen uporabe tiskanih zemljevidov, saj digitalni zemljevidi uporabnike oropajo poglobljenega raziskovanja prostora. Knjiga je na voljo v PDF-obliki na spletu, kar povečuje njeno dostopnost in uporabnost za zgodovinarje, geografe ter širšo javnost.
The review focuses on the book *Historical Cartography of Slovenian Territory* by Primož Gašperič, published as the 37th volume of the *Geography of Slovenia* series, continuing the work *Cartographic Treasures of Slovenia* from 2020. The book examines the historical development of cartography in the Slovenian region using a standardized methodology for analyzing old maps.
The introductory section explains key cartographic concepts and the evolution of European cartography up to the 20th century. It presents cartographic elements divided into natural features (terrain, vegetation, waterways), built structures, boundaries, and place names of settlements, rivers, and landmarks. The core of the book is an analysis of 58 medium-scale maps, including notable examples such as the *Tabula Peutingeriana* (1619), Pietro Coppo’s map of Istria (1525), and maps by Janez Dizma Florjančič and Peter Kozler.
The author also covers mathematical elements like scale and map grids, as well as explanatory components such as titles, legends, colophons, and decorative features. The analysis employs a standardized form, enabling map comparisons and tracking historical development.
The book concludes with lists of sources, references, and detailed map data. The review emphasizes that maps are not only geographical tools but also cultural artifacts. It highlights the importance of printed maps, which encourage spatial exploration in contrast to digital maps. The book is available online in PDF format, making it accessible to historians, geographers, and the general public.
