Mappa Mundi
(redirected from Mappamundi)

    Also found in: Wikipedia 0.06 sec.

Mappa Mundi

13th-century symbolic map of the world. It is circular and shows Asia at the top, with Europe and Africa below and Jerusalem at the centre (reflecting Christian religious rather than geographical belief). It was drawn by David de Bello, a canon at Hereford Cathedral, England, who left the map to the cathedral, where it was used as an altarpiece.
