Framed Print of Psalter Map, c1250. Creator: Unknown
Psalter Map, c1250. A round map of the world, set in a square ornamental frame, Jerusalem being in the centre, with a zone of winds, figures of inhabitants, etc. The Psalter map is so called because it accompanied a 13th Century copy of the Book of Psalms. It is one of the earliest maps with Jerusalem at the centre, reflecting the medieval world view. Although tiny, it contains a wealth of information. It is the earliest surviving map to symbolise Christ's power as overseer of the world; and one of the earliest maps to depict Biblical events - for example, Moses crossing the Red Sea (the large red expanse, top right); and the earliest to display the `monstrous races in Africa (the strange figures, some without heads, depicted on the right-hand edge). From Latin Psalter, with canticles, litany, etc.
