होरोग्राफी इसके अंग्रेजी अर्थ का उदाहरण

Pappus, writing at Alexandria in the 4th century, produced a commentary on Ptolemy's Geography and used it as the basis of his (now lost) Chorography of the Ecumene.

" Something of a theorist, Strabo explains what he means by Geography and Chorography:It is the sea more than anything else that defines the contours of the land (geōgraphei) and gives it its shape, by forming gulfs, deep seas, straits and likewise isthmuses, peninsulas, and promontories; but both the rivers and the mountains assist the seas herein.

From this description it is clear that by geography Strabo means ancient physical geography and by chorography, political geography.

The library also possesses publications of the United Nations Library, and pictorial works of historical value like the watercolors of the Chorography Commission.
