Summary
[edit]DescriptionChinesische Mauer (Ortelius 1584).jpg |
English: Detail of the map of China engraved by Abraham Ortelius (1584), the first map of China printed in a European atlas. "C.Paquin" is Beijing (Peking).
The Latin text next to the Great Wall says: "Murus quadringentarum leucarum inter montium crepidines a Rege Chinæ contra Tartarorum ab hac parte eruptiones extructus." Translation to English: "A wall of four hundred miles has been constructed between the edges of the mountains by the King of China against the invasions of the Tartars in this part."Deutsch: Detailaufnahme von der China-Karte von Abraham Ortelius (1584), der ersten in einem abendländischen Atlas erscheinenden Karte von China. Die Karte ist nach Westen ausgerichtet. Die Chinesische Mauer verläuft auf einer Länge von etwa 400 Meilen (also viel zu kurz). Rechts, also im Norden, sind schöne mongolische Jurten zu sehen. Man beachte auch die Windwagen, die in China schon im 6. Jahrhundert nach Christus entwickelt worden sind.
Der lateinische Text entlang der Chinesischen Mauer lautet: "Murus quadringentarum leucarum inter montium crepidines a Rege Chinæ contra Tartarorum ab hac parte eruptiones extructus." Auf Deutsch übersetzt: "Eine vierhundert Meilen lange Mauer wurde zwischen den Bergkämmen vom König von China gegen die Invasionen der Ta(r)taren in diesem Gebiet erstellt." |
