Vincenzo Maria Coronelli (1650-1718) was an Italian Franciscan friar, cartographer, cosmographer and encyclopaedist. He was born and died in Venice. Son of a Venetian tailor, he moved to Ravenna while still an adolescent to learn the art of wood engraving. At the age of sixteen he published the first of the hundred and forty works he was to produce during his lifetime. Coronelli studied in Rome, where he became Doctor in Theology. He also studied astronomy, Euclidian geometry and philosophy.
He became most famous for his terrestrial globes. In 1678, he constructed two globes for the Duke of Parma and their success led to an invitation to Paris, where he was to construct another, very large-scale (some 382 cm in diameter) pair of globes for Louis XIV. Of these two globes the one represents the earth and the other is a celestial sphere, with the sky as it appeared on the day Louis XIV was born; both coloured and illuminated. Today they are exhibited the François Mitterrand National Library of France.
After his stay in Paris, Coronelli lived and worked in various European countries. In 1705 he settled permanently in Venice, at the monastery of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, where he founded the Accademia degli Argonauti, one of the oldest geographical societies in the world. A tireless writer and publisher, in 1690 Coronelli published his "Atlante Veneto", probably the first atlas to have been produced in Italy. Official cosmographer to the Venetian Republic, Coronelli also published "Biblioteca Universale Sacro-Profana", a geographical encyclopaedia unfortunately left unfinished. Coronelli’s work went through many editions and translations into English, German, French and Dutch.
This is an anonymous German adaptation of Coronelli’s "Memorie istoriografiche delli regni della Morea e Negroponte e luoghi adiacenti'(Venice, 1686). In 1687 it was translated into English by R. W. Gent as An Historical and Geographical Account of the Morea, Negrepont, and the Maritime Places, as far as Thessalonica. This is the work Coronelli is best known for, and it was based on his travels in the previous two years as official geographer for Venice. It is illustrated by numerous city views and plans showing the new cities conquered by the Venetians to the Ottomans during the Venetian-Ottoman War of 1684-87. Coronelli tends to distort perspective in order to fully represent topographical features.
The places described in the German adaptation include Morea, Corinth, Patras, Charenza, Navarino, Modon, Coron, Calamata, Zarnata, Chielaffa, Passava, Misitra (Mystras), Maina (Mani), Malvasia (Monemvasia), Napoli di Romania (Navplion), Argos and the Ionian Islands.

Morea, Negroponte & Adiacenze (1686).
Atlante Veneto (1691 - 1696).
Ritratti de celebri Personaggi (1697).

In #Greece 🇬🇧~🇫🇷 #Cats and #Sunset . Greek streets are full of dogs and cats, like this one on the roof of the village during a usual but wonderful sunset ! We are still in #Zitsa, the village where we help a family for babysitting! We stayed longer than planned because they need help, and we prefered to not travel with the hot days :) We should leave in 1 week, direction Bulgaria before Turkey, still to avoir the heat! (check our last video, linked in our bio :)) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #chats et #coucherdesoleil . Les rues en Grèce sont remplies de chiens et chats, comme celui-ci lors d'un magnifique crépuscule. On est encore à Zitsa pour garder la petite fille de nos hôtes. On reste plus longtemps que prévu car on ils ont besoin d'aide, et pour éviter de voyager en autostop avec nos sacs par les grandes chaleurs! On devrait partir dans une semaine, doucement direction la Bulgarie avant la Turquie, toujours pour éviter les fortes chaleurs :) Si ce n'est pas fait, regarde notre dernière vidéo, lien dans notre bio :)) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~Active notifications to not miss a thing of our adventure :) ~ Active les notifications pour ne rien louper de notre aventure :) ~~~~~~~~ Facebook&Youtube&Twitter&Pinterest&Snapchat: #SerialHikers ~~~ #roadtrip #backpacking #adventure #travel #travelgram #voyage #beautiful #breathtaking #ExploringTheGlobe #photooftheday #travelawesome #wonderfuldestinations #alenstale #csgenerosity #workawayadventure #sonyalpha6000 #igersfrance #ilovegreece #ig_greece #discover.greece

Model of an Eoraptor lunensis
Eoraptor was one of the world's earliest dinosaurs. It was a two-legged carnivorous theropod that lived between 230 and 225 million years ago, in what is now the northwestern region of Argentina. The type species is Eoraptor lunensis, which means 'dawn plunderer [from the Valley] of the Moon', denoting where it was originally discovered (Greek eos/εως meaning 'dawn' or 'morning' and Latin lunensis meaning 'of the moon'). Paleontologists believe the Eoraptor resembles the common ancestor of all dinosaurs. It is known from several well-preserved skeletons. [read on]

Modell eines Eoraptor lunensis
Eoraptor („Jäger der Morgenröte“) ist eine Gattung sehr urtümlicher bipeder Dinosaurier aus der späten mittleren und frühen Obertrias Südamerikas. Seine Fossilien wurden 1991 von einer amerikanisch-argentinischen Forschergruppe in den Gesteinen der Ischigualasto-Formation in Argentinien entdeckt. Er ist einer der ältesten bekannten Dinosaurier, worauf auch sein Name anspielt, und daher für das Verständnis der frühen Evolution dieser Lebewesen von Bedeutung. Bisher wurde nur die Art E. lunensis in die Gattung gestellt. Das Art-Epitheton bezieht sich auf den Fundort des ersten Skeletts im „Valle de la Luna“ (Mondtal) im Naturreservat Ischigualasto.

Tucked down a narrow alley along old town Rethymno’s charming, café-packed side streets, this small scale hotel in a renovated Venetian palazzo is a good base for discovering Greece’s largest island.

I do like strawberries, but didn’t want to do a shot of just Strawberries. Several people had photos of fresh on the vine. Here in AZ we don’t grow strawberries. At least I don’t know where, so I came up with this idea. I would have rather had a strawberry milkshake but I at least wanted a picture of strawberries in my shot.
I have recently discovered Greek Yogurt. Where has it been all my life????
