| Abstract | ‘Map Questions’ falls under the ‘Mappings’ rubric that comprises it and complements other sessions in a proposed series that will advance studies in the history of cartography. Papers in ‘Map Questions’ deal with lesser-known places to look for maps, with definitions of ‘map’, and with the parameters of such definitions – and in this context with the long discussed question of whether graphic representations of maps must necessarily have existed in antiquity at all (specified on the famous example of the ‘Roman’ Peutinger Map). Taken as a whole, the ‘Mappings’ series of sessions constitutes a uniquely broad context that supports and encourages new work on medieval maps. |
