O universo refere-se a três coleccções portuguesas: uma particular - a Casa da Ínsua -, e duas públicas - a Biblioteca Nacional, em Lisboa, e a Biblioteca Pública Municipal do Porto -, com os problemas inerentes às características de cada uma, como a proveniência diversa, o âmbito cronológico distinto, a variação das escalas ou os aspectos temáticos de cada peça.
Palavras chave: cartografia antiga, Brasil setecentista.
ABSTRACT
In this work I have sought to provide an outline of Brazilian eighteenth-century cartography in a geographical reading. Three collections have been studied: a private one called “A casa da Insua”, and two public ones (the National Library at Lisbon and the Public Municipal Library at Porto, as well as issues concerning each one’s characteristics, as diverse origin, different chronological scope, variation of scales or thematic aspects each piece.
Key words: early cartography, eighteenth-century Brazil.
