In the medieval world, geographical knowledge was influenced by
religious ideas and beliefs. Whereas this point is well analysed
for the Latin-Christian world, the religious character of the
Arabic-Islamic geographic tradition has not yet been scrutinised in
detail. This volume addresses this desideratum and combines case
studies from both traditions of geographic thinking. The
contributions comprise in-depth analyses of individual geographical
works as for example those of al-Idrisi or Lambert of Saint-Omer,
different forms of presenting geographical knowledge such as
TO-diagrams or globes as well as performative aspects of studying
and meditating geographical knowledge. Focussing on texts as well
as on maps, the contributions open up a comparative perspective on
how religious knowledge influenced the way the world and its
geography were perceived and described int the medieval world.
