The Mappa Mundi is just a thing of beauty (unlike the bonnacon!)

Here's the fancy link with the map all blurred out like it's in witness protection. It's free to sign up, & then you'll get notifications when new posts drop.

There's a paid tier, too, that will get you more posts about historical maps in the future!

Acid-poop-spraying bonnacons are way up on the list of denizens of the medieval bestiary I can never really wrap my head around and have to be reminded of periodically, so…thx!

Bookmarking to read later. We have a Folio Society reproduction hanging on the wall in back of the tv.

I attended Hereford Cathedral School 1980-1982. At that time, the map was hung on the wall of the cathedral in an ordinary wooden frame (rather than the sophisticated purpose built space in which it hangs now). Basically, for two years of my life, I got to look at this map on a nearly daily basis.
