| - | “[[Virtual Places]]” and “Real Travellers” – are twin projects - the first aims at explorations of 17th and 18th-century maps and visual reconstructions of the world around 1700, the second offers a supplement with travelogues written in the century between 1650 and 1750. | + | ===Editorial=== |
| - | The aim behind both projects is the connection of knowledge. Traveller A visits London in 1695, traveller B does the same a decade later in 1705. What did they see? Whom did they meet? How do their views relate to each other? How do they relate to travel guides? The e-text edition and its connection with images and maps and secondary sources is one thing to aim at.
