Medieval World Map

Latin Psalter, with canticles, litany, etc - caption: "A round map of the world, set in a square ornamental frame, Jerusalem being in the center, with a zone of winds, figures of inhabitants." The Latin Psalters are the translations of the Book of Psalms into the Latin language. These translations are typically placed in a separate volume or a section of the breviary called the psalter, in which the psalms are arranged to be prayed at the canonical hours of the day. In the Middle Ages, psalters were often lavish illuminated manuscripts, 13th - 15th century.
