Notably on the Jerome map of the East (Miller, op. cit., vol. iii, 470pl. 1), the St. Sever Beatus (ibid., reproduction accompanying vol. i, 1895; see Fig. 2, p. 69, above), the Osma Beatus (ibid., reproduction in vol. ii, 1895, pl. 3; see also vol. i, p. 35, and Fig. 4, p. 123, above), and Henry of Mayence map (ibid., vol. ii, 1895, pl. 13; vol. iii, 1895, pl. 2). Other significant features shown on contemporary maps in northern and central Asia are the Amazons, the Anthropophagi, the Caspian Gates, the Armenian Pillars, and the Hyperboreans. Beatus Paris No. II (ibid., vol. i, pp. 31–32) shows a region in the vicinity of the Caspian Sea labeled “terra inhabitabilis propter habundanti[am] aquæ,” which does not appear on other maps.
