13th-century symbolic map of the world. It is
circular and shows Asia at the top, with
Europe and Africa below and Jerusalem at the
centre (reflecting Christian religious rather
than geographical belief). It was drawn by
David de Bello, a canon at Hereford
Cathedral, England, who left the map to the
cathedral, where it was used as an
altarpiece. In 1988 there were plans to sell
the map to raise money for repairs.
