- Resum
- The famous Hereford world map, the 'Mappa Mundi', dates from around 1300. The map is attributed to Richard of Bello (fl. 1276-1312), and was painted on one skin of calf-parchment. In setting the Hereford world map in context, Harvey and his 24 collaborators introduce us to medieval ideas of the world and man's place in it.
