Still, there is almost no literature on how editol\u27s have influenced the shape of early and historical atlases. Editing Early and Historical Atlases is intended to scrutinize this lacuna. In their approach, however, most of its articles use the lenses of traditional historiography. The four articles in the first section-by James Akerman, Walter Goffart, Mary Pedley, and Anne Godlewska-provide a historiography of early and historical atlases from the emergence of the atlas idea in the late sixteenth century to the mid nineteenth century, by which time conventions in editing historical atlases now taken for granted were established.
