Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Medi�val Geography: An Essay in Illustration of the Hereford Mappa Mundi
In transcribing the names and legends, it was decided, after some deliberation, that it would be better to resolve the abbreviations which were so commonly used in writing Latin at the period of the map, but at the same time to retain the peculiarities of orthography, and in all cases to give the 75108219 sima verba of the cartographer. Wherever the sense of a passage is impaired by his mistakes, corrections have been introduced in brackets and with a different type. A table ofthe chief peculiarities in the orthography Of the period has been introduced at the end of the Introduction, page xlvii.
