Full Transcript

"Here there be dragons": We'll look at how Medieval Christians understood their world from the maps they drew of it. Modern myth holds that people in the so-called "Dark Ages" believed the world was flat until Columbus proved otherwise. We'll learn about the actual Medieval worldview from a survey of dozens of Medieval maps.
