| Summary: | Star-chart screens based on the work of the Jesuit Ignatius Kögler (1680-1742), functioned in the eighteenth-century Korean court as a way of consolidating imperial authority around the calendar and more broadly conceptions of space and time. This occurred in the aftermath of the collapse of Ming calendrical authority and in the context of the developing relationship between Korea and the Qing court. The network of envoys that brought back astronomical science between the Joseon court in Korea and the Ming and Qing courts in China is discussed, and Kögler's star chart of 1723 is compared with several large format Korean star chart screens that acted as symbols of royal power and legitimacy in the Joseon dynasty (1392-1910) court. |
