Series Statement:
Maps, spaces, cultures volume 3
Content:
"Medieval Christian European and Arabic-Islamic cultures are both notable for the wealth and diversity of their geographical literature, yet to date there has been relatively little attempt to compare medieval Christian and Islamic mapping traditions in a detailed manner. Cartography between Christian Europe and the Arabic-Islamic World offers a timely assessment of the level of interaction between the two traditions across a range of map genres, including world and regional maps, maps of the seven climes, and celestial cartography. Through a mixture of synthesis and case study, the volume makes the case for significant but limited cultural transfer. Contributors are: Elly Dekker; Jean-Charles Ducène; Alfred Hiatt; Yossef Rapoport; Stefan Schröder; Emmanuelle Vagnon"--
Note:
This volume originated in an international network, which ran between 2013 and 2015. Meetings organised under the aegis of the network culminated in a colloquium, entitled "Cartography between Europe and the Islamic World 1100-1600”, which took place at Queen Mary, University of London, in September, 2014
