Maps and Atlases

For an introduction see "Maps & Atlases" in Crosby (1985) Medieval Studies [Z5579.5.C76, Lane Rm.]. The Dept. of Special Collections maintains a separate database of antiquarian maps it owns; contact Special Collections. General historical atlases:

There are numerous specialized and national historical atlases and several relevant subject headings, e.g. Subject (LC): Geography, Medieval--Maps; Crusades--Maps; Ecclesiastical geography--Maps, etc. There also also a number of map supplements to The Cambridge Medieval History, D117.C3, Lane Rm.
