内容摘要: 莫里斯·布格罗雇了盖布利尔·塔温尼尔托来帮他完成一幅为纳瓦赫亨利四世所设计、特备的地图册,该地图册将使各省、各个地区、城市、河流乃至整个国家的概貌展现在国王眼前。亨利将拥有一件任他支配的工具,这对于他形成用战术策动来制约神圣联盟的庞大力量至关重要。假如他能赢得战争的胜利、荣登王座,这件东西就能帮他处理国内的征税、运作、商贸和治理。地图册会提醒其最先、也是最佳的读者其中展现的地图诞生于战争和纷争“区域”,是政治工具。该地图册使人想起亚伯拉罕·奥特利乌斯以他奢华的世界地图来开启的百科全书项目,将向国王显示他王国的全部、要点和优势。为了加强并发布这本地图册,布格罗刻意亲自撰写序言,赞扬它的实质功能,并向地方官员和知名人士详尽说明它前所未有的价值。贝罗阿尔德·德·韦尔维勒是赞赏该地图册的作家之一,他的地图小说《幸运王子之旅》(1610),一部长达700多页的巨著,将是本文论述图像与文本相互关系的重点。

Abstract: Maurice Bouguereau hired Gabriel Tavernierto to help him complete an atlas designed and destined for Henry IV of Navarre. The atlas would bring before the eyes of the King the sum of the provinces, regions, cities and rivers and, no less, a sense of the nation. Henry would have at his behest an instrument vital for tactical maneuvers to counter the massive forces of the Holy League. Were he to win the wars and ascend to the throne, the same object could facilitate taxation, administration, commerce, and management of the nation. The atlas would remind its first and best reader that its maps, born of the “theater” of war and strife, were political objects. Recalling the encyclopedic project that Abraham Ortelius had launched with his sumptuous Theatrum orbis terrarium, the book would show the King the sum, substance and virtue of his kingdom. To enhance and launch the atlas, Bouguereau obtained prefatory matter praising its virtue and giving good cause and reason to the local magistrates and dignitaries. Among these writers of praise was Béroalde de Verville, whose cartographic fiction, Le Voyage des princes fortunez (1610), a novel of more than 700 pages, is the main focus of this essay, especially in terms of the relation between image and text.
