EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a map drawn by the Italian Jesuit priest and linguist, Filippo Salvatore (1721-1789), depicting the Orinoco River and the province of Nueva Granada, located in South America. Salvatore, also known as GILII, spent a significant portion of his life in this region, immersing himself in the study of the natural world, as well as the civil and sacred history of the Spanish territories in South America. Born in Italy, Salvatore's curiosity and passion for languages led him to Nueva Granada (present-day Venezuela) on the Orinoco, where he dedicated himself to understanding the unique linguistic and cultural nuances of the region. His extensive research culminated in the publication of "Saggio di Storia Americana o sia Storia Naturale, Civile, e Sacra De regni, e delle provincie Spagnuole di Terra-ferma nell America meridionale," a comprehensive work that explored the natural history, civil life, and sacred history of the Spanish territories in South America. The map in this print reflects Salvatore's meticulous attention to detail and his deep understanding of the geography of the region. The Orinoco River, a major waterway that flows through Venezuela and Colombia, is prominently featured, along with various provinces and territories that were part of the Spanish colonial empire in South America. This map serves as a testament to Salvatore's remarkable contributions to the fields of linguistics, cartography, and the study of the Americas during the 18th century.
