| Zusammenfassung |
| The Ebstorf Map (Wilke, 2001; Kugler, 2007; Wolf, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2009a,
b), the largest medieval map of the world whose original has been lost, is
not only a geographical map. In the Middle Ages, a map contained mystic,
historical and religious motifs. Of central importance is Jesus Christ, who,
in the Ebstorf Map, is part of the earth. The Ebstorf Map contains the
knowledge of the time of its creation; it can be used for example as an
atlas, as a chronicle of the world, or as an illustrated Bible. |
