"The First Printed #World Map from #IsidoreOfSeville's '#Etymologies', [...] often referred to as the first #encyclopaedia. It contained information on a very wide range of topics. The 'Etymologies' were a hugely influential source of knowledge for many centuries. [...] The use of stunning rubrication - applying red highlights by hand to significant printed capital letters - shows the intersection between #handwritten #manuscripts and the newly invented #printingpress. The T-O #map illustrating this page is the earliest printed European world map. [...] Date of production : 1472."

This is one of the 120 maps of the #Sunderland collection, "[...] a #Swiss investor and specialist in corporate finance [...] began his professional career at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology [...] He subsequently joined [...] #UBS [...] In 1983 [...] CEO of #Elders Finance and Investment Company in Melbourne [...] returned to Switzerland in 1989 and acquired Adinvest AG [...] Key investment themes included life sciences, e-commerce, fintech and the digital economy. [...] a PhD [...] addressed the stability of funds in the banking system."
That fascination for #maps, the eye (gaze) and #immersiveinterfaces of wealthy men specialized in #extraction.

[fascinating stuff, I love place and people etymologies, especially displayed with such good cartography – and I don’t even know Philadelphia!]
“This is a list of the sources of some of the place names in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania…”

TIL that the Punic surname “Barca”, as in the Carthaginian general Hannibal Barca (as well as his father Hamilcar, and brothers Hasdrubal and Mago), is Phoenician for “lightning”. I don’t know how I never made the connection before, given that Phoenician is Semitic and I speak Hebrew (where the same √brq root is also used to mean “lightning”). I guess my brain is just in full on Latin Mode or something when I’m thinking of ancient Rome? Anyway - Hannibal “Lightning” Barca! ⚡️

#Okay, I never realised #ok had such a disputed list of proposed #etymologies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OK#Proposed_etymologies
Seems the three most accepted ones are:
— early #Boston #fad of intentional #misspellings ('Oll Korrekt' and its predecessor OW, 'Oll Wright'), combined with a presidential campaign by #MartinVanBuren, whose nickname was #OldKinderhook.— Derived from words used by #Choctaw (#Chahta) and other #NativeAmerican people, such as 'okeh' or 'hoke'.
— #WestAfrican 'waw-kay', or 'o ke'.
