EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Descendants of Noah in Europe: A Historical Map from 1778" This map print, created in the year 1778, offers a unique and intriguing glimpse into European history. Entitled "Map of Europe Shewing [sic] the Colonies of the Descendants of Noah," it presents a geographical representation of Europe with an unusual historical twist. The map is a testament to the enduring influence of biblical narratives on European thought and cartography. It places the biblical figure of Noah at the center, with the continents and countries of Europe labeled as the lands inhabited by his descendants. This concept, rooted in the belief that the three sons of Noah - Shem, Ham, and Japheth - were the ancestors of the European, African, and Asian peoples, respectively, was a popular one during the 18th century. The map is adorned with various symbols and illustrations, each representing a specific people or region. For instance, the British Isles are marked with a lion, while France is labeled with a fleur-de-lis, reflecting the heraldic symbols of these nations. The map also includes annotations in Latin and English, providing further information about the various territories. This historical map not only serves as a fascinating reminder of the role of biblical narratives in shaping European perceptions of their own history but also showcases the artistry and craftsmanship of 18th-century cartography. It invites us to explore the rich tapestry of European history and the intriguing ways in which it has been interpreted and represented over the centuries.
