Note 1188 — Chapter XII · REGIONAL GEOGRAPHY
Reading edition
Jerusalem is not at the center in the Beatus maps. Probably the earliest map now known which so places it is the T-O map of 1110 at Oxford, upon which a cross on “Mons Syon” marks the exact spot (Miller, Mappaemundi, vol. iii, 1895, p. 119). Jerusalem is at the center of the oikoumene on the Psalter (ibid., vol. ii, 1895, pl. 1; vol. iii, 1895, pl. 3), Hereford, and Ebstorf maps (ibid., accompanying vols. iv, 1896, and v, 1896, respectively) of the late thirteenth century. See below, p. 463, note 38.
