Unus non sufficit orbis  (One World does not suffice) is a multilingual digital library formed by maps and books concerning Catholic missionary cartography. In this project, cartography is intended in a broad sense to mean not only the practice of drawing maps but also the writing about real, imaginary and spiritual places. Library records are carefully composed and mutually connected to allow users to exploit the potential of the semantic web and navigate, in a virtual manner, across the continents in which Catholic missionaries established their presence from the end of the sixteenth century to the first half of the twentieth century.
