Abstract | This session focuses on the digitization, annotation, and visualization of medieval cartography, covering both mappaemundi and also an example of a 'national map', an English late-14th century map of Britain known as the 'Gough Map'. The papers will discuss the conceptual, methodological, and empirical challenges presented by using multimedia technologies in exploring the textual and visual content of medieval cartography. The papers will be also be a practical demonstration of the online resources that have resulted from an AHRC-funded 'Beyond Text' research project, 'Linguistic Geographies', and also the ongoing 'Digital Mappaemundi' project. |
