Everything Everywhere Daily - The Fra Mauro Medieval World Map

Sometime around the year 1450, a monk living just outside of Venice created one of the greatest maps of the medieval world. 

It was an enormous map, even by modern standards, and it had a level of detail that had never been seen before. 

It took years to make and was a major advancement in cartography. 

Perhaps most importantly, it contained many details that no one had yet verified firsthand. 

Learn more about the Fra Mauro map, how it was created, and its significance on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NBN Book of the Day - Lucy Caplan, “Dreaming in Ensemble: How Black Artists Transformed American Opera” (Harvard UP, 2025)

Recently, musicologists and others have started writing about Black participation in opera. Lucy Caplan’s Dreaming in Ensemble: How Black Artists Transformed American Opera (Harvard UP, 2025) is a major new publication on this topic. Caplan examines what she calls a Black operatic counterculture in the US dating from the performance of H. Lawrence Freeman’s first opera, The Martyr, in 1893 until the 1950s. Rather than centering her analysis on opera as a symbol of uplift or on the ways that the operatic establishment excluded Black participation, Caplan thinks about how opera was part of a project of self-fashioning in Black communities. She argues that opera could be one way to answer the question, in the words of Black librettist Karen Chilton, “How do we become ourselves?” Focusing on institutions and networks, while also not ignoring influential figures, Caplan delves into the rich history of Black opera through numerous points of entry. This is not a strictly chronological retelling of a few, already well-known operatic “firsts.” Instead, Caplan writes about everything from critics to short-lived opera companies, from celebrities to supernumeraries, and recreates this previously untold complex and multifaceted operatic legacy.
