Here Begins the Dark Sea

Venice, a Medieval Monk, and the Creation of the Most Accurate Map of the World

Meredith F Small

When Venetian monk Fra Mauro completed his mappamundi in 1459 it provided the most detailed description of the known world and shifted cartography into the realm of science rather than a practice based on myth and religion. In this volume Meredith F Small places Fra Mauro’s creation in its medieval context before exploring its far-reaching impact.
