It's a great EMOTION.
In just over a month, my next book will be released, perhaps my most intimate and heartfelt work. Here we are, the adventure is about to begin again, in italian bookstores from the end of March.

Two months after the end of the project, the members of the RUTTER team reflect on what working on the project – and on an @ERC_Research project – has meant to them, both personally and professionally. Find their stories here: rutter-project.org/wp-conten…

Such a necessary book to clarify actual historical questions concerning #longitude—a topic that has been misleadingly presented as an English question, when in fact it has a long history and considerable developments with navigation in Early Modern Portugal. #Histsci

New book! #Rutters and logbooks were more than navigation aids: they shaped #cartography, law, science and Europe’s global expansion. Essential reading on how #oceans connected the #EarlyModern world.

Henrique Leitão closing remarks: "The RUTTER project officially ended on 31 August 2025. It will take some time for RUTTER's contributions to percolate in the academic world, but their impact will be felt. It was a unique privilege to lead such an exceptional group of people."

Is it dangerous to mistake one fish for another? Yes, especially if your intention is to eat them. Read the post "Fish-Tasting and Toxic Navigation: Life and Death at Sea in 1526" by Luana Giurgevich about the case of poisoning onboard the ship Conceição.

In early modern #navigation, theory met practice at #sea. Cosmographers had the models, but #pilots had the skills—and they almost always won.
