	Walter Map - LoveToKnow 1911
		The special interest of Map lies in the perplexing question of his relation to the Arthurian legend and literature.
		Map was, as we have seen, frequently in France; Chretien had for patroness Marie, countess of Champagne, step-daughter to Henry II., Map's patron; Map's position was distinctly superior to that of Chretien.
		Taking all the evidence into consideration it seems more probable that Map had, at a comparatively early date, before he became so important an official, composed a poem on the subject of Lancelot, which was the direct source of the German version, and which Chretien also knew and followed.

	§4. Walter Map. X. English Scholars of Paris and Franciscans of Oxford. Vol. 1. From the Beginnings to the Cycles ...
		Walter Map, who was born about 1137 on the marches of Wales, and accordingly called England his mother, and the Welsh his fellow-countrymen, studied in Paris from about 1154 to 1160.
		Map was the author of an entertaining miscellany in Latin prose, De Nugis Curialium, a work in a far lighter vein than that of John of Salisbury, who had adopted this as an alternative title of his Policraticus.
		Walter Map’s “courtly jests” are mentioned by Giraldus Cambrensis, who, in his latest work, describes Map as a person of distinction, endued with literary skill and with the wit of a courtier, and as having spent his youth (and more than his youth) in reading and writing poetry.

		Were it possible to prove to demonstration Map’s authorship of the great Arthurian romances so commonly associated with his name, there could be no question about his claim to rank as the greatest literary genius who appeared in England before Chaucer.
		It was probably composed by instalments, and forms a sort of common-place book in which Map seems to have jotted down from time to time, both shrewd reflections upon men and things, and pleasant anecdotes to divert the vacant mind.
		Of the strictly historical portions of the work, the most valuable are the accounts, in the first book, of some of the heretical sects which had sprung up in the twelfth century, and the reflections, which take up the whole of the fifth book, upon the character and achievements of the Anglo-Norman kings.

		Hoxton's map offered its users a great variety of useful information, but the prescient mariner also recognized the realities of a constantly changing coastline resulting from the continual ebb and flow of coastal waters.
		The value of Hoxton's map may be discerned from the fact that so few of his original edition survive, suggesting that copies were worn out in use (although relatively few may have actually been produced).

		WALTER MAP’S TREATMENT of the Cistercian order of monks has long been recognized as a first-rate satire and a memorably acrid contribution to the many criticisms aimed at the Cistercians in the late twelfth century.
		Map’s satire appears in his De Nugis Curialium (The Courtiers’ Trifles), which he composed largely in the 1180s and continued to revise during the following decade, perhaps, as some speculate, taking it with him to Oxford when he became archdeacon in 1197.
		Like Chaucer’s pilgrim narrator, Map’s narrator presents himself as a witness to the rush of events around him—in his case, the tumult engulfing him at the court of Henry II.

	Walter Map Summary and Analysis

		In the following essay, Thorpe examines the connections between Map and Gerald of Wales (also known as Giraldus Cambrensis) and speculates on the extent to which the prolific Gerald might have been influenced by the apparently unprolific Map.
		In the following excerpt, Otter describes Map as "an extremely self-aware narrator," blurring the lines between fiction and fact as other Medieval historians have done, but more intensely aware than they seem to have been that his "history" lacks a reliable foundation.
