In fact, most of the world was discovered long before men knew how to record accurately what they had found. And when cartography started it was an art more than a science. (1) That is what makes the collecting of early maps such a fascinating and rewarding pastime: it is both a voyage of historical discovery and an exercise in artistic appre« ciation @) Mapping as we know it started ~like so many other things — with the Egyptisns and the Roman Empire. In around AD 120, Ptolemy was working as an astronomer and geographer at Alexandria on his atlas ofthe known world. He even developed the- ories of longitude and latitude. He was sound on the Mediterranean, but fairly vague about most parts beyond it (3) The most remarkable achievement of Ptolemy was that thirteen and a half centuries later, when the printing press made its fist appearance, his work was still the best source available forthe first printed maps in 1477, (4) This was because between the period of the Roman Empire and the Renaissance, a school of theological’ cartographers had grown up: these mapmakers were less interested in the evidence of exploration than in the theories of the church, They argued that Jerusalem (or sometimes the Garden of Eden) must be the centre of the Maps like the famous Hereford Cathedral Map of 1280, which is cireular and five feet across, not only shows Jerusstem at the middle but Paradise atthe top. It may have been reassuring to the monks, but it hardly helped travellers to find their way. (6) Although there were a few truly oulstanding fourteenth-century maps, like the famous Catalan Atles which showed trade routes across the Sahara and served to inspite Prince Henry the Navigator of Portugal, it was in the century afler the dis- covery of printing that map-making really took off This was the age of the Discoveries: first ihe Portuguese and later the Dutch and others were opening up the ‘waterways of the world, and as nev geographical knowledge flooded into Europe, so 1 generation of great cartographers sprang up to codify the new evidence available, (1) The Venetians, who had always been very seerctive about their mapmakine, were soon superseded by the Dutch as the masters of the new craft, Colourists and 6 ( OLvasoTT sz6veG ERTESE .vers tamed their hands to mapmaking: Mereator was born in 1512 end devel- ‘oped his ‘projection’ which enabled a round world to be represented on a fat page (8) Ortelius produced a highly decorative eight-page map of the world in the 1560s, and Hondius produced maps in the early 1600 with small scraps of local history or legend written in Latin alongside the places where these events happened.

The Tudor andthe Stuart conquests ‘and plantations (1534-1610), the Cromwellian settlement (1654), and the Williamite war (1689-91) followed by enaciment of the Penal Laws (1695), had the cumulative effect of eliminating the Irish-speaking ruling classes and of destroying their cultural institutions. ‘They were replaced by a new ruling class, or Ascendancy, whose language was English, and thereafter English was the sole language of government and public institutions. Irish continued as the language of the greater part of the rural population and, fora time, of the servant classes in towns. From the middle ofthe eighteenth century asthe Penal Laws were relaxed and a greater social and economic mobility became possible forthe naive Irish, the more prosperous of the Irish-speaking community began to conform tothe prevailing middle-class ethos bby adopting English Irish thus began tobe associated with poverty and economie depri- vation. This tendency increased after the Act of Union in 1800. Paradoxically, towards the end of the eighteenth century the Anglo-rsh Ascendancy hhad begun to develop an acedemic interest in the irish language and its literature. ‘Academic interest later merged with a concem for the survival of spoken Irish as its decline became increasingly evident.

Wat do two sticks have to do with the situation? If you put one stick across the middle ofthe other stick, you havea ctoss, And the word eross is another way ‘o say angry. So ifyou are as cross as two sticks, you are very angry. Anattter expression, ‘to cross swords, sounds like something from the past.
