Dear all
List readers may be interested to know about the 'Mapping the Middle
Ages' course being held in Cambridge in August. The course tutor is Dr
Lucy Donkin.
To quote from the course details which can be found at
http://www.cont-ed.cam.ac.uk/courses/coursedetails.php?id=1678
"The course explores the medieval worldview through a wide range of
cartographical material, from illustrated itineraries to mappaemundi,
paying particular attention to the treatment of the British Isles.
Questions of context and function will be discussed with reference to
the ways in which the maps reflect geographical knowledge; express
religious and cultural ideas; and represent the past and present"
