Note 1441 — Chapter XII · REGIONAL GEOGRAPHY (continued 2)

The term “Mediterranean Sea” in its present-day application is used on the Hereford map (see Miller, op. cit., vol. iv, 1896, p. 23, and reproduction accompanying vol. iv). The St. Sever Beatus map represents the various parts of the sea by the following names: “Tirrenum Mare,” “Mare Ligusticum,” “Mare Balearicum,” “Mare Libicum,” “Mare Siculum,” “Mare Creticum,” “Mare Egeum,” “Sinus Adriaticus,” “Sinum Noricum,” “Ellespontum,” “Eusinus Pontus” (ibid., vol. i, 1895, pp. 60–61 and reproduction accompanying vol. i; names barely legible on our Fig. 2, p. 69, above). The Jerome map of the East also designates portions of the Mediterranean as “Issicum,” “Pamphilicum,” “Ionicum” (ibid., vol. iii, 1895, p. 12 and pl. 1). See also the discussion of the nomenclature of the Mediterranean and of the ocean in Frahm, Das Meer, 1914, pp. 73–77.
