Abstract (en)
Discussion of several medieval mappaemundi, ranging from Carolingian to gothic examples, including the well-known Hereford Mappamundi (Hereford Cathedral). Author suggests that "...world maps were typically treated not as autonomous objects, but rather as elements subsumed within greater pictorial ensembles, architectural settings or intellectual projects".
