Entangled Histories Seminar Series

How did the medieval mind navigate the unknown? We invite you to a journey through the "Wonders of the East" and the vast landscape of Western European and English medieval cartography. This session explores how the medieval world—from medieval English manuscripts to the Mappae Mundi—used monstrosity and geographical barriers like the Red Sea to define, reinforce, and destabilize the boundaries of civilization.
