The Representation of the Hungarian Towns in Domenico Zenoi\u27s and Paolo Forlani\u27s Cartographic Work

Sredinom 16. stoljeća Venecija je kartografsko središte Europe. Najistaknutiji su predstavnici venecijanske kartografske škole, koja uključuje i njihove bliske suradnike Šibenčane Natalea Bonifacija i Martina Rotu Kolunića, Domenico Zenoi i Paolo Forlani. Studija se bavi njihovom kartografskom i izdavačkom djelatnošću u kontekstu venecijanske kartografske proizvodnje, ali posebno detaljno analizira njihove bakrorezne prikaze ugarskih gradova u vrijeme turskih osvajanja, uključujući i opsadu i pad Sigeta pod zapovjedništvom Nikole Šubića Zrinskoga. Analiza se temelji na pet danas postojećih primjeraka Zenoijevih i Forlanijevih zbirki veduta, od kojih je autor pronašao dvije do tada nepoznate zbirke u budimpeštanskoj Nacionalnoj knjižnici.In the mid-16th century Venice was the European center of cartography. The two most distinguished representatives of the Venetian school of cartography, which included their close collaborators, Natale Bonifacio and Martin Rota Kolunic from Šibenik in Dalmatia, were Domenico Zenoi and Paolo Forlani. The study deals with their cartographic and publishing activity, their relationship and rivalry within the context of the Venetian cartographic production and analyzes in detail their engravings of the Hungarian towns at the time of the Ottoman conquests, including the siege and the fall of the fortress Sziget during the command of Nikola Šubic Zrinyi. The analysis is based on the five extant copies of Zenoi\u27s and Forlani\u27s collections of views, two of which have been unknown until discovered by the author in the Budapest National Library
