| Abstract | Mapping Universal Christian Empires falls under the 'Mappings' rubric that comprises it and two other sessions in a proposed series that aims to advance studies in the history of cartography. Picking up this year's theme of 'Empire', the session explores how later medieval and early modern European maps could be used to conceptualize and represent the idea of an all-encompassing Christian imperium. |
