Note 1201 — Chapter XII · REGIONAL GEOGRAPHY
Reading edition
On the St. Sever Beatus map, Paradise is enclosed by mountains, its northern border by the Montes Ceraunes, a continuation of the Taurus (see Fig. 2, p. 69, above). On the Beatus maps Paradise is rectangular (Miller, Mappaemundi, vol. ii, 1895, pls. 2–9); on the Psalter (ibid., vol. ii, pl. 1; vol. iii, 1895, pl. 3) and Lambert mappaemundi (ibid., vol. iii, p. 46 and pl. 4) it is circular; and on the Henry of Mayence map (ibid., vol. iii, pl. 2) it is more or less circular and is placed on an island in the Eastern Sea. A few maps do not show it at all; as the Cotton, Jerome, Guido, some of the Sallust maps, and the Matthew Paris map of the world (ibid., vol. ii, pls. 10, 11, 12; vol. iii, pp. 56, 70–71, 110–113).
