Abstract
In that Empire the Art of Cartography reached such Perfection that the Map of a single Province took up an entire City, and the Map of the Empire an entire Province. In time these Disproportionate Maps proved inadequate and the Colleges of Cartography drew up a Map of the Empire which was the Size of the Empire, coinciding with it point for point. Subsequent Generations, less Addicted to the Study of Cartography, found this vast Map Useless, and not without Impiety abandoned it to the Inclemencies of Sun and Winter. Torn Ruins of the Map inhabited by Animals and Beggars survive in the Deserts of the West; throughout the Land no other relic of the Geographic Disciplines remains.'
