Abstract

The Habsburg land is known primarily for its quantitative characteristics related to the precision of surveying. This paper aims to introduce the lesser-known qualitative aspects of the maps. Imperial instructions indicate how to represent all the qualities of each significant element present on the maps: shapes, thicknesses and styles of text, colors, icons. Each entity represented is indicated so as to be recognizable even in its qualitative characteristics. But the analysis of the instructions allows highlight the critical aspects of the Habsburg’s cadastral maps. In fact the imperial instructions indicate also the limits: what is ‘overlooked’ and what’s ‘significant’ only ‘under certain conditions’.
