Book excerpt: Maps and texts: evualuating the Irish Historic Towns Atlas', edited by H.B. Clarke and Sarah Gearty, brings together proceedings from the annual IHTA seminar series 'Maps and texts: using the Irish Historic Towns Atlas' that took place in the Royal Irish Academy from 2012 to 2014. The book contains comparative essays on Irish towns in thematic sections.0The IHTA is the leading authority for Irish comparative urban studies. 'Maps and texts' examines various components of town-type and town-life in Ireland from monastic foundations to Victorian towns. By using the IHTA series, experts offer their insights on urban life such as the impact of the environment, religion, castles and the big house, the coming of the canal and railway, military barracks and public buildings on Irish towns. Case studies on Derry~Londonderry, Dublin and Limerick are also presented alongside an art-historical perspective of Anglo-Norman, Gaelicised and plantation towns.0Contributors: Toby Barnard, Helene Bradley, H.B. Clarke, Frank Cullen, Sarah Gearty, Rob Goodbody, David Fleming, Raymond Gillespie, Andy Halpin, Brian Hodkinson, Arnold Horner, Annaleigh Margey, Rachel Moss, Margaret Murphy, Coilin O Drisceoil, Nollaig O Muraile, Jacinta Prunty and Catherine Swift.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is based on possibly the biggest single Europe-wide project in urban history. In 1955 the International Commission for the History of Towns established the European historic towns atlas project in accordance with a common scheme in order to encourage comparative urban studies. Although advances in urban archaeology since the 1960s have highlighted the problematic relationship between the oldest extant town plan and the actual origins of a town, the large-scale cadastral maps as they have been made available by the European historic towns atlas project are still necessary if we want to understand the evolution of the physical form of our towns. By 2014 the project consisted of over 500 individual publications from over 18 different countries across Europe. Each atlas comprises at least a core-map at the scale of 1:2500, analytical maps and an explanatory text. The time has come to use this enormous database that has been compiled over the last 40 years. This volume, itself based on a conference related to this topic that was held in the Royal Irish Academy in Dublin in 2006, takes up this challenge. The focus of the volume is on the question of how seigneurial power influenced the creation of towns in medieval Europe and of how this process in turn influenced urban form. Part I of the volume addresses two major issues: the history of the use of town plans in urban research and the methodological challenges of comparative urban history. Parts II and III constitute the core of the book focusing on the dynamic relationship between lordship and town planning in the core area of medieval Europe and on the periphery. In Part IV the symbolic meaning of town plans for medieval people is discussed. Part V consists of critical contributions by an archaeologist, an art historian and an historical geographer. By presenting case studies by leading researchers from different European countries, this volume combines findings that were hitherto not available in English. A comparison of the English and German bibliographies, attached to this volume, reveals some interesting insights as to how the focus of research shifted over time. The book also shows how work on urban topography integrates the approaches of the historian, archaeologist and historical geographer. The narrative of medieval urbanization becomes enriched and the volume is a genuine contribution to European studies.

Book excerpt: Volume II brings together the first six towns of the Irish Historic Towns Atlas series, previously published as individual fascicles. These towns - Maynooth, Downpatrick, Kilkenny, Bray, Fethard, and Trim - illustrate characteristic periods of town formation in Ireland. Maps are presented in large format and include facsimiles of old plans, historical reconstructions and thematic maps. Topographical views, illustrations, and photographs provide additional artistic perspectives. Each town/city in Volume II includes a text section with an explanatory essay and a detailed gazetteer that gives dates, references, and other data on the streets, buildings, and sites of the urban center. The book offers the opportunity to compare details of these Irish towns and cities. The core strength of the atlas project is presenting large-scale town plans as historical documents, showing the different modes of origin and subsequent growth-phases of Irish towns. The topographical history of these towns aims to reflect the complex cultural identity of Ireland.Authors:No. 7 Maynooth (1995) Arnold HornerNo. 8 Downpatrick (1997) R.H.

Book excerpt: Modelling the City focuses on European towns and cities, analysing the opportunities and limitations of modelling of urban space. This book examines how urban space from the past is discovered, explained and presented. It discusses the multitude of historical sources mediating the past urban space, and the structural, technical, and epistemological issues raised around building a domain ontology, including continuity, and change within urban forms and functions. Presentation of a formal domain ontology in spatial humanities makes this book unique and worth reading. It is strongly recommended to readers interested in the linked open data approach to research, data standards in Digital Humanities, urban planning, and old maps.
