A Critical Companion to English Mappae Mundi of the Twelfth and Thirteenth Centuries (Boydell Studies in Medieval Art and Architecture) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Mappae mundi (literally maps of the world), beautiful objects in themselves, give huge insights into how medieval scholars conceived the world, and their place within it. They are a fusion of ""real"" geographical locations with fantasy, theology and legendary material. Production reached its height in England in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, with such well-known examples as the Hereford mappa mundi, the maps of Matthew Paris, and the Vercelli map. This volume provides a Companion to the seven most significant western European mappae mundi. Its first part surveys the maps' materials, types, shapes, sources, contents, conventions, idiosyncracies, commissioners and users. Further chapters establish the shared history of map and book making, and demonstrate how pre-and post-Conquest monastic libraries in Britain fostered and fed their complementary relationship. Each map is then given detailed consideration in a separate chapter. NICK MILLEA is Map Librarian, Bodleian Library, University of Oxford; DAN TERKLA is Emeritus Professor of English at Illinois Wesleyan University. Contributors: Nathalie Bouloux, Michelle Brown. Daniel Connolly, Helen Davies, Gregory Heyworth, Alfred Hiatt, Marcia Kupfer, Nick Millea, Asa Simon Mittman, Dan Terkla, Chet Van Duzer.
