This scholarly work explores the geographical worldview around the year 1300, examining the intersections of politics, knowledge, myth, and fiction. Edited by Peter Moraw, it delves into the medieval understanding of geography influenced by ancient Hellenistic traditions, Christian theology, and limited exchanges with the Islamic world. The book includes contributions on topics such as the reception of Chinese knowledge in Europe, the Muslim perspective on Rome, and fictional geography in medieval literature. It also addresses the impact of the Mongol invasions on the medieval European worldview and the attempts by Christian Europe to engage with the Mongols. Aimed at historians and scholars of medieval studies, it provides a comprehensive analysis of how medieval societies perceived their world and the broader cultural and political implications.
