“…Other notable early contributions include Bertú; Bontempelli; Momigliano. Interest in the topic resurfaced in the 1970s (see Barlusconi;Greppi, 1984;Milanesi;Serra), and again with the spatial turn of the last few decades (see Bondi;Doroszlaï, 1991 andMac Carthy;Rossi;Spinelli), with Cavallo's the most insightful among recent works examining Ariosto's spatial imaginary. My Orlando Furioso Atlas, consisting of hyperlinked digital maps of each canto, is a part of this conversation, and has been instrumental in identifying and analyzing instances of ironic geography in the text: see Leisawitz, 2016.…”

Critics of the “Orlando furioso” have analyzed at length the poem's darker veins, lying just beneath its ostensibly sunny surface, where Ariosto comments on the violence and political, intellectual, and religious upheavals of the early sixteenth century, often through allegory and irony. Readers have also noted the text's meticulously curated geography that lends to the story world of the “Furioso” extraordinary breadth of scale and specificity of detail. This study identifies the poem's geography as an important locus of irony, both in service to larger allegorical programs and as a means of remarking on the contemporary revolution in geographic knowledge and cartographic practice.

La novela helenizante Historia de las fortunas de Semprilis y Genorodano (1629) de Juan Enríquez de Zúñiga se adscribe, a pesar de algunas diferencias significativas, a la nómina de seguidores del Persiles cervantino. La geografía ficcional que se despliega en esta novela, llena de naufragios, islas y bárbaros tiene a primera vista una disparatada e inverosímil configuración espacial que llega a conectar fácilmente por mar Tartaria, África ecuatorial, Constantinopla, Polonia o Barcelona. Recurrimos al análisis de fuentes textuales (Giovanni Botero) y cartográficas (Abraham Ortelius) sobre sus noticias sobre el Reino de Loango y el Congo para demostrar cómo la propia naturaleza de las fuentes cartográficas puede servir de matriz narrativa que trasladada al texto un viaje imaginario sobre el mapa. Nos apoyaremos metodológicamente en el trabajo de Jörg Dünne, quien interpreta como un tipo de escritura cartográfica la combinación cervantina de diversos significantes cartográficos en el Persiles, en particular en la ficcionalización del Norte, para crear una estructura espacial ficcional.
