A glance at medieval maps tells us that cartographers of the Middle
Ages divided space differently than we do today. In the great
mappae mundi, for instance, Jerusalem takes center stage, with an
image of the crucified Christ separating one place from another.
The architects of medieval cathedrals manipulated space to clarify
the roles and status of anyone who crossed the threshold. Even in
the most everyday context, space was allotted according to gender
and class and was freighted with infinitely subtle and various
meanings. The contributors to this volume cross disciplinary and
theoretical boundaries to read the words, metaphors, images, signs,
poetic illusions, and identities with which medieval men and women
used space or place to add meaning to the world.
