Cartography in the European Renaissance forms a pivotal place in The History of Cartography series. Chronologically, volume 3 takes up where volume 1 left off, continuing the Euro-Mediterranean tradition of mapmaking from the Middle Ages. Its emphasis differs from earlier volumes in defining the broad influence and role of maps in society rather than focusing on their making. The number of authors has increased from an average of ten per volume to sixty-four. This volume is also the last in the series to follow a geographic structure by cartographic culture; the remaining volumes are being planned as multilevel encyclopedias organized alphabetically.

The bulk of this volume explores the European cartographic traditions of the Italian States, Portugal, Spain, the Germanic States, the Low Countries, France, the British Isles, Scandinavia, East-Central Europe, and Russia.
