Summary[edit]

Description
English: This map shows a didactic cosmographical system (represented in the form of concentric circles, one for each of the four elements) and a small geographical mappa mundi (a term used for medieval European map of the world). This mappa mundi is of particular interest to contemporary scholars due to its high level of geographical precision in comparison to other similar medieval examples.

The map in Latin 7478 shows a rather realistic depiction of the Mediterranean and North sees, ( The following region are labeled “Francia” (France), “Spania” (Spain), “Italia” (Italy), “Turchia” (Turkey), “Caucasia” (Caucasus) or “Egyptus” (Egypt), and in central Europe “Polonia” (Poland), “Ungaria” (Hungary), “Scla[via]” (region inhabited by the slavs), “Alba” (Albania)).
