First full collection on the seven most significant English mappae mundi from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Mappae mundi (maps of the world), beautiful objects in themselves, offer huge insights into how medieval scholars conceived the world and their place within it. They are a fusion of "real" geographical locations with fantastical, geographic, historical, legendary and theological material. Their production reached its height in England in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, with such well-known examples as the Hereford map, the maps of Matthew Paris, and the Vercelli map. This volume provides a comprehensive Companion to the seven most significant English mappae mundi. It begins with a survey of the maps' materials, types, shapes, sources, contents, conventions,idiosyncrasies, commissioners and users, moving on to locate the maps' creation and use in the realms of medieval rhetoric, Victorine memory theory and clerical pedagogy. It also establishes the shared history of map and book making, and demonstrates how pre-and post-Conquest monastic libraries in Britain fostered and fed their complementary relationship. A chapter is then devoted to each individual map. An annotated bibliography of multilingual resourcescompletes the volume. DAN TERKLA is Emeritus Professor of English at Illinois Wesleyan University; NICK MILLEA is Map Librarian, Bodleian Library, University of Oxford. Contributors: Nathalie Bouloux, Michelle Brown.

An examination of the intricate cartography of Matthew Paris, and the meanings of the maps themselves. The illustrations of the Benedictine monk, artist, and chronicler Matthew Paris offer a gateway into the thirteenth-century world. This new study of his cartography emphasises the striking innovations he brought to it, and shows how the maps became an investment and repository of certain medieval spatial practices: travel through the world, the occurrence of history in that world, and the religious practices and devotional attitudes that were assiduously cultivated within the larger visual culture of St. Albans abbey (in great measure produced by Matthew's own images). Travel (i.e. space), history (time), and devotion (liturgy), then, are the primary issues and meanings deposited in and registered by Matthew Paris's cartographic landscape. In searching out these contexts, the book explores the paradigm of imagined pilgrimage as an organizing principle that pushes into greater relief medieval understandingsof their arrangements of places and of histories. Thus traveling through geography could enact its meanings in a dynamic, religious, even devotional performance of the maps' materials. Richly illustrated with black and white and colour plates.

A fun and inviting way to introduce or engage your student's with STEM. Science is for everyone! Science is for girls! All you need to be a scientist is to be curious. As a parent, teacher, or personal tutor cultivating that curiosity can be difficult. Keeping your students engaged in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics lessons can also be really hard. Often STEM subjects are taught in a complicated manner with no enthusiasm, so students don't learn how to be enthusiastic about STEM. This Coloring and Activity Book is here to change that. Get your students involved inSTEM with an activity that they already know how to do. Peak their interest with coloring pages of scientific instruments, puzzles, and more.

The Catholic Church has approved only a handful of Marian apparitions including Fatima, Lourdes, Akita and some others. One Message One Truth is based on a comment made by Cardinal Ratzinger who said the '3rd Secret of Fatima', "has been said again and again in many other Marian apparitions." This book investigates what that message could be.
