The Nicolosi globular projection is a polyconic map projection invented about the year 1,000 by the Iranian polymath al-Biruni. As a circular representation of a hemisphere, it is called globular because it evokes a globe. It can only display one hemisphere at a time and so normally appears as a "double hemispheric" presentation in world maps. The projection came into use in the Western world starting in 1660, reaching its most common use in the 19th century. As a "compromise" projection, it preserves no particular properties, instead giving a balance of distortions.

  • La proyección globular de Nicolosi es una proyección cartográfica inventada alrededor del año 1000 por el sabio persa Al-Biruni. Es una representación circular de un hemisferio, denominada globular porque evoca un globo terráqueo. Solo puede mostrar un hemisferio a la vez y normalmente aparece como una presentación de 2 hemisferios en los mapas mundiales. La proyección entró en uso en el mundo occidental a partir de 1660 (cuando fue redescubierta por Giovanni Battista Nicolosi), llegando a su uso más común en el siglo XIX. Como una proyección de "compromiso", no conserva propiedades particulares, sino que proporciona un equilibrio de distorsiones. (es)
