Summary:

Maps represent one of the oldest forms of human communicati on. For centuries, scientists have been convinced of the expres sive power of the map, which can speak beyond the barrier of the ordinary language. The significance of the map, especially in the past, stems from the fact that people were making them to tell other people about the places and places they experien- ced. The maps presented in this book are very important for studying the general and cultural history of the area of Ukraine during the early modern period as well as the surrounding re- gions. The significance of their analysis and publishing is even greater because the cartographic representations of the early Russian-Ottoman production area of Ottoman production are extremely rare and less familiar to the academic and professi- onal public. Based on certain characteristics it can be assumed that maps represented in this book were created during the 18th century. Some of them are work of professionally engaged and educated Ottoman officials, while for others we assume that they are works of amateurs, most likely domestic people. The professional maps that emerged during the negotiations on the Ottoman-Russian demarcation processses in the Northern Steppes forming the nowadays Ukraine are a testament to the intense work, collaboration and commitment of the Ottoman and Russian members of the demarcation commission. This is confirmed not only by the notes on the mentioned maps, but also by numerous other Ottoman documents from same peri od. At the same time, on the basis of a more detailed analysis it can be concluded that the members of the demarcation com missions were educated and competent to carry out the men tioned process, and that they spent a long time on the field. establishing a borderline on the spot.
