In 1482, the Florentine humanist and statesman Francesco Berlinghieri produced the Geographia, a book of over one hundred folio leaves describing the world in Italian verse, inspired by the ancient Greek geography of Ptolemy. The poem, divided into seven books (one for each day of the week the author "travels" the known world), is interleaved with lavishly engraved maps to accompany readers on this journey. Sean Roberts demonstrates that the Geographia represents the moment of transition between printing and manuscript culture, while forming a critical base for the rise of modern cartography. Simultaneously, the use of the Geographia as a diplomatic gift from Florence to the Ottoman Empire tells another story. This exchange expands our understanding of Mediterranean politics, European perceptions of the Ottomans, and Ottoman interest in mapping and print. The envoy to the Sultan represented the aspirations of the Florentine state, which chose not to bestow some other highly valued good, such as the city's renowned textiles, but instead the best example of what Florentine visual, material, and intellectual culture had to offer.

Cartographical innovations is intended as a reference book for all those working in the history of cartography and also for modern cartographers who may be interested to see that many of the techniques employed today originated decades, and sometimes centuries earlier than is generally thought. The book includes information about when processes and techniques began, when materials were first used, and in general indicates on a world-wide scale the main points of advancement in the science and art of cartography. For each term a definition is given, followed by the main facts in the history of the innovation, or technique and completed by a bibliography.
