カタルーニャ図（カタルーニャず、カタルーニャ語: Atles català 発音 [ˈatləs kətəˈla]、仏: Atlas catalan、英: Catalan Atlas）とは、1375年前後に作成された中世の世界地図（マッパ・ムンディ）である[1][2]。本作は、パルマ出身のユダヤ人アブラハム・クレスク（英語版）とその息子ジェフダ・クレスク（英語版）によって作成されたと伝わる。

本作はのアブラハム・クレスク（英語版）なる人物によって制作された。クレスクはユダヤ人技士であり、「マッパ・ムンディとコンパスの名手」と評された[3]。本作はシャルル5世の治世である1380年までに王立図書館に収蔵され、現在もフランス国立図書館に所蔵されている。マヨルカ地図学派（英語版）

もともと約64.5cm×50cmの羊皮紙を6枚を用い、金銀など様々な色で塗り分けられていた[4]。その後、5枚の板の両面に貼り付けられ、端はシモン・ヴォストル（英語版）によって革製の装丁が施された。 1515年、1991年に修復されたが、現在は摩耗により羊皮紙が破れてしまった[4]。

本作は中世カタルーニャ語の重要文献であり[5][6]、「中世の地図製作の頂点」と称えられている[6]。

概要

[編集]
カタルーニャ地図の画像。パリ国立図書館蔵。
この画像は左右にスクロールできます。
地図に描かれた羅針図

六枚の葉の内、最初の二枚にはカタルーニャ語で宇宙誌や占星術、天文学に関する文言が挿絵付きで並ぶ。内容は、地球の形や欧州・北阿の支配者や文物などについてである。また、船員向けに潮の干満や夜間の時刻の見方などの言及もみられる[7]。

残りの四枚は実際の地図になっており、イェルサレムを中心に２枚は東洋、２枚は西洋を描く。地図だけでも1.3m2の大きさがある。十字架で示されたキリスト教徒の都市、ドームで示されたムスリムやそれ以外の都市など、多くの都市が記されており、都市ごとの忠誠が旗を以て表されている。重要な港市は赤字で、その他の港市は黒字で書かれている。挿絵や説明は紙面の端に集中しており、平置きにして眺めることを想定している[8]。

特に東洋についての記述には、中世のマッパ・ムンディと当時の紀行文、例えばマルコ・ポーロの所謂『東方見聞録』やマンデヴィルの『東方旅行記』をはじめ、数多くの東洋の宗教についての記述があり、南アジアや東アジアの都市が確認できる[9]。

一方西洋の地図は現代の羅針儀海図に近く、ここに描かれた羅針図は確認できる限り最古のものである[6]。

描かれたもの

[編集]

マリ帝国

[編集]
黄金を手に取るマンサ・ムーサ

マリ帝国とそのマンサであるマンサ・ムーサの栄光が記されている。

この黒人の領主はマンサ・ムーサ、ジネーバ (ガーナ) の土地の統治者である。この王は、ジネーバの大地から掘り出される黄金のため、最も裕福で高貴なるものである。
—カタルーニャ地図・キャプション、[10]

インド

[編集]
南アジアの西部から南部

南アジアは、その西部が正確に描写されており、一部正確な地名がある[11][12]。北インドの有力な政権であったデリー・スルタン朝とそのスルタンが描かれ、都市には王朝の旗が掲げられている。

「ここに偉大なスルタンがある。スルタンは 700 頭の象と 10 万人の騎兵を従え、数えきれないほどの歩兵を指揮している。スルタンの国には金や宝石が潤沢である。」
—カタルーニャ地図・キャプション、[13]

中央部には、伝説的なヤーダヴァ朝の都であるディオギルが見える。ディオギルの街には奇妙な旗が掲げられていて、沿岸部の都市にはデリー・スルタン朝の旗が見える[14][15]。ディオギルは最終的にデリー・スルタン朝のアラー・ウッディーン・ハルジーの手に落ちた[16]。

アラビア海に浮かぶ貿易船にはフレグ・ウルスの旗が見える。

「これらの船はニチと名付けられ、深さ60キュビト、長さ34キュビトであることを知っておくように。ほとんどの船に4本以上の帆柱があり、10 本のものさえある。帆は葦とヤシの葉で作られる。」
—カタルーニャ地図、キャプション、[17]

To the south, at the tip of India, appears the "King of Colombo" with a Christian flag (). He was identified as Christian due to the early Saint Thomas Christianity there (since at least the 8th century), and the Catholic mission there under since 1329. His caption reads:

南インドの先端には、十字旗を掲げた「コロンボの王」が描写されている。この地域には8世紀にはすでにトマス派の存在が認められており、14世紀以降のジョルダン・カタラ（英語版）による布教の記録も相まって、この人物はキリスト教徒だと見られている[18]。

「この地はキリスト者コラムの王が統治している。」
—カタルーニャ地図・キャプション、[13]

Jordan, Christian missionary to Colombo from 1329, who wrote "Book of Marvels" (Mirabilia descripta, 1340), was probably the source of the information about Colombo in the Catalan Atlas.[19] He mentions the earlier presence of the Saint Thomas Christians in India.[20]

Il-Khanate

[編集]
Depiction of the ruler of the Ilkhanate and his realm.[21]

The Mongol Il-Khanate ruler and his dominions are depicted in the area of Persia under the title "Rey del tauris", after his capital city of Tabriz. The Ilkhanate flag also appears: .[22][12]

The caption is only related to the city of Babylon:

Here there was the Great Babylonia, where Nabuconodosor resided, and that is called Baldaca today. Let it be known that many spices, as well as other noble products, come to this city from the Indies and they are distributed by Siria, in particular at the city of Damascus.[17]
A ship under the Ilkhanate flag (), sailing the Indian Ocean towards the coast of India under the control of the Delhi Sultanate ().[23]

Over him appears a city within a sphere, with the following caption, mentioning the Persian city of Shiraz and Ptolemy:

This city is named Siras, and in antiquity, it was named the City of Grace because it was there where astronomy was invented by the great wise man Ptolemy.[17]

Two ships with flags of the Ilkhanate appears on the India Ocean, sailing to and from the Indian coast, where appear flags of the Delhi Sultanate. The label attached to one of the ships reads:

Know that these ships are called junks (inchi) and have sixty-cubit hulls with thirty-four cubits of freeboard. They have on top of this between four and ten masts, and their sails are of canes and palm.[24]

Golden Horde

[編集]
Jani Beg of the Golden Horde.[25]

The Mongol polity of the Golden Horde is accurately depicted north of the Caspian Sea. The ruler named Jani Beg has been identified in this representation, being mentioned as "Jambech senyor de Sarra", and the flag of the Golden Horde also appears ().[25] The caption to the right reads:

Flag of the Golden Horde according to the Catalan Atlas.
Coinage of Mengu-Timur with tamgha symbol , dated 1273–1275.
Here resides the emperor of this northern region whose empire starts in the province of Bulgaria and ends at the city of Organcio. The sovereign is named Jambech, Lord of the Sarra. [17]

The symbolism of the Golden Horde flag depicted by the Catalan Atlas () is fairly similar to the type of tamgha symbols (such as ) actually found on the coinage of the Golden Horde.[26][27] Such symbols were used until the time of Jani Beg, but essentially disappear thereafter.[28]

The text to the left reads:

Let it be known that those that wish to cross this desert stop and rest during a week in a city named Lop. Here, expeditions and their animals relax/enjoy themselves. After that, they procure what is needed for the next seven months of the journey, because in the desert one travels an entire day and night before reaching potable water; however, every day and a half, they can find plenty of it, enough for fifty or a hundred people or even more. And if it happens that a rider, tired by the journey, falls sleep or for any other reason he separates from his companions, he will often hear the voices of devils, similar to the voices of his companions, often calling him by his own name. In this way, the devils take him through the desert to a fro such that the traveler cannot find his companions. A thousand stories are known about this desert. [17]

Anatolia

[編集]
Anatolian Beyliks in the Catalan Atlas. The map is shown upside down.[29][30]

The Anatolian Beyliks, a group of Turkic principalities in Anatolia are also depicted, in the region labelled Turqhia (Turkey). The caption next to the seated ruler in Anatolia reads: Asia Minor also called Turkey, where there are many cities and castles.[29][30] Numerous Turkic principalities appear, with a variety of flags, but very little prominence is given to the Orthodox princes of the Byzantine Empire, although several Byzantine cities appear with the Byzantine imperial flag (), or Trebizond ().[30] The Christian kingdom of Cilician Armenia appears heavily fortified within green walls, with its ports and flags (, ) clearly visible.[31][32]

Gog and Magog

[編集]
Land of "Gog i Magog".

The land of "Gog i Magog" (Gog and Magog) appear in the top right corner. Its king is mounted on a horse, followed by a procession. Next to it appears Alexander's Gate, showing Alexander, the Antichrist, and mechanical trumpeters.

Chagatai Khanate

[編集]
Kingdom of Chagatai in the Catalan Atlas (1375).

The Khan Kebek, Mongol ruler of the Chagatai Khanate is depicted with the following caption:

Here reigns the King Chabech (Kebek), lord of the Medeja [Media] Empire. He resides at Emalech (Almaliq).[33][34]

His cities appear with the Chagatai flag ().[35]

Cathay (China)

[編集]
Flag over the city is camull (Khamil) in Xinjiang.[36][37]
Flag of Cathay in the Catalan Atlas (Label: "The city of Carnan. Here ends Catay").[36][34]
Empire of the Great Khan (Catayo) according to the Catalan Atlas (rotated 180°). The flag with three red crescent moons () appears on all the territory.

The cities of Cathay, at that time the Empire of the Great Khan (Yuan China), are shown raising a flag with three red crescent moons (). The flag is seen all over eastern Asian cities in the Catalan Atlas.[38]

Kubilai Khan appears enthroned and wearing a green coat, with the following caption:

The most powerful prince of the Tartars is named Holubeim [Kubilay Khan], that means Great Khan. This emperor is richer than any other emperor in the world. This emperor is protected by twelve thousand horsemen with their four captains that stay at the court three months of the year.[34]

Antichrist

[編集]
Antichrist in the Catalan Atlas (1375).

The Antichrist appears beyond the Great Wall of China, next to the territory of Gog and Magog. The label reads:

Antichrist. He will be raised in Goraym of Galilea, and at the age of thirty he will start to preach in Jerusalem; contrary to the truth, he will proclaim that he is Christ, the living son of God. It is said that he will rebuild the Temple.[39]

In the top corner is Alexander the Great ("Allexandri") fighting the devil.

Beyond is the ocean ("Mare Oceanis"), without mention of Japan.
