Medieval Christian European and Arabic-Islamic cultures are both
notable for the wealth and diversity of their geographical
literature, yet to date there has been relatively little attempt to
compare medieval Christian and Islamic mapping traditions in a
detailed manner. Cartography between Christian Europe and the
Arabic-Islamic World offers a timely assessment of the level of
interaction between the two traditions across a range of map
genres, including world and regional maps, maps of the seven
climes, and celestial cartography. Through a mixture of synthesis
and case study, the volume makes the case for significant but
limited cultural transfer. Contributors are: Elly Dekker;
Jean-Charles Ducene; Alfred Hiatt; Yossef Rapoport; Stefan
Schroeder; Emmanuelle Vagnon.
