First Imago Mundi Prize awarded
----------------------------------
The Directors of Imago Mundi Ltd are delighted to announce that the first
Imago Mundi Prize has been awarded to Dr Zur Shalev (PhD Princeton
University, 2004), a Visiting Research Scholar, Modern History Faculty,
Oxford University, for his article 'Sacred Geography, Antiquarianism and
Visual Erudition: Benito Arias Montano and the Maps in the Antwerp Polyglot
Bible', Imago Mundi: the International Journal for the History of
Cartography, 55 (2003), 56-80.
The Prize is offered every two years. This award covered Volumes 55 (2003)
and 56 (2004), the latter the first volume to be issued in half-yearly
parts. The winning article is the one judged 'to have made the most
significant contribution to the discipline'. Full length articles are
eligible for the Prize but not short articles, since it is only full length
articles that are automatically subjected to the (anonymous) external
refereeing process before acceptance for publication.
The winner receives $1000, and qualifies for a J.B. Harley Travel Award to
the next biennial International Conference on the History of Cartography
(Budapest, 17-22 July 2005).
