Note 1368 — Chapter XII · REGIONAL GEOGRAPHY

Reading edition

ibid., pp. 301–310. It is unnecessary to enter upon a detailed discussion of the geography of Asia Minor as given in the De imagine mundi, I, 19–20, and Otia imperialia, vol. ii, p. 762. This is no more than the dry repetition of information drawn from classical sources. The Jerome map of the Orient shows the classical divisions of Asia Minor with a good deal of detail; the river systems are also represented, but very poorly (Miller, Mappaemundi, vol. ii, 1895, pl. 11; vol. iii, 1895, pl. 1). Troy appears on the Psalter, Lambert, and Guido maps (ibid., vol. iii, p. 56, and pls. 3 and 4). On the last-named it is the only detail in Asia Minor.
