Abstract
Through the analysis of the first detailed cartography of the territories of Eastern Canada produced in Italy (1657), the present essay retraces the methodology established by its creator, constituting a case study of crucial importance to understand some core dynamics of one of the greatest scientific challenges of modern period, the quest for longitude. Substantive, didactic and teleological features of this scientific production, as developed by a 17th century Jesuit missionary - inextricably linked to religious issues - are going to be investigated as well.
