Abstract
The emergence of a modern social and political consciousness was enabled in part by a post-Renaissance re-imagining of space as a fundamental physical parameter that could be measured empirically by new techniques of survey and calculation, in ways that linked a knowable earth to the wider universe. The ability to imagine and make sense of an external spatial environment ranging far beyond the individual’s immediate sensory surroundings challenged traditional Aristotelian and Judeo-Christian views about the nature of the earth and its relationship to a larger cosmos. To be modern was to be conscious of relative spatial location, to be able to interpret this knowledge in terms of the diverse factors (environmental, economic, social, and political) that influenced spatial divisions and variations, and to be aware of how these spatial differences shaped individual and collective sensibilities.1 The early-modern re-conceptualization of space as a category of experience and knowledge has been examined in several national and institutional contexts and, as the other essays in this volume amply demonstrate, part of a wider “spatial turn” that has influenced most areas of the humanities and social sciences.2

The Cassini dynasty began with Giovanni Domenico Cassini, often identified as Cassini I, who was recruited in 1669 from the Panzano observatory in Bologna. The family’s control of the Paris Observatory continued under Giovanni’s son Jacques (Cassini II), grandson César-François Cassini de Thury (Cassini III), and great grandson Jean-Dominique (Cassini IV). Cassini II’s report on the first survey of the Paris meridian appeared as an appendix to the 1718 HARS under the title De la grandeur et de la figure de la terre: suites des mémoires de l’Académie Royale des Sciences (Paris: Imprimerie Royale, 1720).

Buache’s geography lessons, prepared for Louis XV’s grandsons, the Duc de Bourgogne, the Duc de Berry (later Louis XVI), the Comte de Provence (later Louis XVIII) and the Comte d’Artois (later Charles X), survive in BNF CP, Ge.EE.92 under the title Explication et usage des cartes dressées pour l’Institution géographique et historique de Mgr. le duc de Bourgogne en 1756; and in the Bodleian Library MSS C21 (252) under the title Explication des Cartes et Découpures presentées pour l’Institution Historique et Géographique de Monseigneur le Duc de Berry (8 Mai 1765).
