During the early modern period, regional specified compendia – which combine information on local moral and natural history, towns and fortifications with historiography, antiquarianism, images series or maps – gain a new agency in the production of knowledge. The publication discusses compilations on the Americas, classified by research as chorographies, encyclopeadias or 'cultural encyclopaedias', in context with Asian and European examples.
