		Mappa mundi, Englished (plural = mappae mundi) is a general term used to describe Medieval European maps of the world.
		Approximately 1,100 mappae mundi are known to have survived from the Middle Ages.
		However, mappae mundi were never meant to be used as navigational charts and they make no pretense of showing land and water proportionately.

	Mappa - The Mappa Mundi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The Hereford Mappa Mundi is unique in Britain's heritage; an outstanding treasure of the medieval world, it records how thirteenth-century scholars interpreted the world in spiritual as well as geographical terms.
		Mappa Mundi is drawn on a single sheet of vellum (calf skin) measuring 64" by 52" (1.58 x 1.33 meters), tapering towards the top with a rounded apex.
		The geographical material of the map is contained within a circle measuring 52" in diameter and reflects the thinking of the medieval church with Jerusalem at the centre of the world.

	Performing the Mappa Mundi
		In a sense, Mappa Mundi is a cross-section of the medieval mind.
		This was where the Mappa Mundi had probably been intended to stand, as an icon of the bishop's power and supposed sanctity.
		We are now in the process of re-working Mappa Mundi to be presented again in the latter part of 2001 and early 2002, both in Britain and overseas.

		The Hereford mappa mundi, thought by some to have been used in the promotion of the cult of St Thomas Cantilupe, is now the only complete large-scale wall map of its period and is drawn on a single vast animal skin.

	Medieval World Maps: A Comparative Study
		With the Munich 'Isidore' Map and the Sawley Map of the early and late 12th century respectively, it is possible to watch the outlines becoming less distinct and the decoration becoming more dramatic, with angels and fantastic creatures appearing.
		The outstandingly beautiful Psalter Map, thought by some to have been a copy of the great mappa mundi at Westminster Palace, shows all the features we would expect from the later great Hugh of St Victor maps such as the Ebstorf Map, the Duchy of Cornwall Map and the Hereford Map itself.

	The Mappa Mundi
		The Mappa Mundi was drawn on a sheet of vellum 64 x 54 inches, supported by an oak frame, with the actual map contained within a circle 52 inches in diameter.
		Maps like the Mappa Mundi were produced in considerable numbers throughout the medieval period in "studios" dedicated to that purpose.
		The seventh book of the Ormesta, as it was known, contained a description of the world and the Mappa Mundi was intended to illustrate this "summa", or compendium of knowledge.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Justina Robson - Mappa Mundi at Epinions.com
		One of the first and still one of the best NervePath programmers in the world, Natalie toils for a low-key British clinic working to implement the Mappa Mundi project; a project intended to create nanotechnological control of the human brain for the first time (I think).
		Mappa Mundi is set about a decade down the timeline from when we sit today, and Robson has created a rather mundane extrapolation of some current trends.
		Robson begins Mappa Mundi by introducing her main characters in five "legends," tales of their past, and a sixth vignette of current events.

		Recently the company have concentrated on touring Shakespeare to all parts of Wales, with performances of some of the greatest roles by a company of now familiar faces, alongside some of Wales’ newest actors.
		When Mappa Mundi began, much of the work produced was unfunded and relied on box office sales.
		Mappa Mundi will continue to produce classic work for Wales with further support of funding bodies and the support of its appreciative audiences.

	Amazon.co.uk: Mappa Mundi: Books: Justina Robson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Paced like a cheetah and clever as anything, Justina Robson's second novel Mappa Mundi offers us a particularly scary take on the possibilities of technology, on what it is to be, and to remain.
		Mappa Mundi asks some terrifying questions about technology--there are some things that cannot be uninvented, and, invented, are going to be used for good or ill. Justina Robson's first novel Silver Screen demonstrated her skill and intelligence; Mappa Mundi reveals her entire emotional and intellectual maturity.
		I found Mappa Mundi genuinely compelling from beginning to end – a real treat of a novel – and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone who enjoys sci fi at its best – exploring fascinating and relevant ideas in an interesting, absorbing and truly enjoyable way.

	BookPage Fiction Review: Mappa Mundi
		REVIEW BY GAVIN J. In Mappa Mundi, the latest science ficiton novel by British writer Justina Robson to be published in the U.S., the author offers an engaging pyrotechnic slice of a near future in which computer software for humans is the next big research front.
		She has often felt that she is fighting her father and now suspects they are working on different aspects of the same brain mapping project, Mappa Mundi.
		The novel is set in the English city of York, in Washington, D.C., and on a reservation in Montana, and each place is economically portrayed with a few spare touches.

	Justina Robson: Mappa Mundi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Justina Robson's second novel, Mappa Mundi, is a strange mixture of techno-thriller and romantic tale as it follows the budding relationship between Doctor Natalie Armstrong and FBI Agent Jude Westhorpe.
		Although Mappa Mundi has much of the feel of a techno-thriller, it lacks the pace associated with a techno-thriller.
		She only slowly reveals information about Mappa Mundi and related projects which are at the center of her tale of espionage.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Mappa Mundi
		In the wrong hands, Mappa Mundi can produce a planet of unreasoning slaves, instantly adhering to whatever doctrine the leaders choose.
		Not only has Robson provided a spellbinding plot, fascinating technology (that is actually comprehensible to us non-scientists), and all too life-like characters to cheer on and to despise, but she has dared to step fully into the forum of issues that never fail to stir up emotions.
		If Mappa Mundi starts readers thinking and questioning, even disagreeing vehemently, it has done more than 95 percent of the books published in the last few years.

	Strange Horizons Reviews: Mappa Mundi by Justina Robson, reviewed by Nicholas Whyte
		The book centres on the development of new technology which will change the human condition forever, perhaps the most fundamentally scientific of sf themes.
		In this case, it is the Mappa Mundi software which offers its creators the chance to directly reproduce and control human thought processes.
		But where many authors would simply concentrate on the Gosh-Wow stupendousness of the technology (a problem I sometimes find with stories featuring nanotech, the Singularity, etc), Robson links in the human dimension effectively and memorably.

	United Kingdom - Hereford Mappa Mundi: UNESCO-CI
		The Hereford Mappa Mundi is the only complete example of a large medieval world map intended for public display.
		It is very different to our modern understanding of a world map as it shows not only locations of places and geographic features but also acts as a visual encyclopaedia with historical, anthropological, ethnographical, biblical, classical and theological information.
		The map is pivotal in our understanding of medieval cartography and sense of place and still has relevance to all peoples in helping them to understand their sense of humanity and self.

		In England research psychologist Dr. Natalie Armstrong diligently works on mapping the human brain so that physicians will one day be able to mend traumatized brains and truly cure the mentally ill. She is closing in on her objective thanks in part to MAPPA MUNDI software.
