Аннотация: Peter the Great was in Paris in 1717 when Delisle’s brother Guillaume presented to the French Academy of Sciences his 1706 map of Muskovy, and he was greatly impressed both by the exactness of the map and by the skill of the cartographer. It is thought that from here he got the idea of having a map of Russia drawn by the same cartographer, using information from Russian sources. When the St Petersburg Academy of Sciences opened, two brothers of Guillaume were invited, one of them being Joseph Nicolas. Delisle knew of Jesuit cartography in China, and he thought that could be useful to Russian maps, as the Chinese Northern territories coincided to a certain extent with the Far East provincies of Russia.
