Abstract

'Maps and Texts' falls under the 'Mappings' rubric that comprises it and other sessions in a proposed series that will advance the history of cartography and space. Papers in 'Maps and Texts' deal, from different angles, with an important question related to medieval maps: how are graphic representations related to texts within or with them. Taken as a whole, this session and its complementary series constitute a uniquely broad context that supports and encourages new work on medieval maps.
