"Categories of medieval culture", of Aron Gurevich, (Routledge, 1988??), is
interresting, specialy the chapters concerning Space, and time.
I've read some about the inexistence of landscape in iddle ages, and in the
medieval stories (chansons, voyages, etc.) they haven't describe the
environment, just used words like, a mountain, a river, a valley, but
nothing else beyond it.
