| Abstract | Mappae Mundi I and II fall under the 'Mappings' rubric that comprises them and other sessions in a proposed series that the organizers hope will become annualized and, in so doing, regularly advance studies in the history of cartography. Papers in Mappae Mundi I and II present fresh examinations of these medieval artifacts from perspectives ranging from the traditional to optical and the digital. Taken as a whole, these two sessions and their series complements constitute a uniquely broad context that supports and encourages new work on medieval maps. |
