Resumen
METCALF, Alida C.. Mapping the Traveled Space: Hans Stadens Maps in Warhaftige Historia. e-JPH [online]. 2009, vol.7, n.1, pp.22-36. ISSN 1645-6432.
By examining the map and map-like illustrations published in Hans Stadens Warhaftige Historia (1557), this article argues that the maps underscore the truthfulness of the narrator by reinforcing his role as an eyewitness observer. Beyond bolstering the narrators authority, Stadens map projects a distinctly different image of Brazil. The mapping tradition of mariners seems to have been a major influence, and the map accords ownership of the mainland to indigenous groups, making his a unique representation of sixteenth-century Brazil.
