Mapping Medieval Geographies explores the ways in which
geographical knowledge, ideas and traditions were formed in Europe
during the Middle Ages. Leading scholars reveal the connections
between Islamic, Christian, Biblical and Classical geographical
traditions from Antiquity to the later Middle Ages and Renaissance.
The book is divided into two parts: Part I focuses on the notion of
geographical tradition and charts the evolution of celestial and
earthly geography in terms of its intellectual, visual and textual
representations; whilst Part II explores geographical imaginations;
that is to say, those 'imagined geographies' that came into being
as a result of everyday spatial and spiritual experience. Bringing
together approaches from art, literary studies, intellectual
history and historical geography, this pioneering volume will be
essential reading for scholars concerned with visual and textual
modes of geographical representation and transmission, as well as
the spaces and places of knowledge creation and consumption.
