Now, twenty years after the appearance of that seminal work, classicists and medievalists from Europe and North America highlight, distill and reflect on the remarkably productive progress made since in many different areas of the study of maps. The interaction between experts on antiquity and on the Middle Ages evident in the thirteen contributions offers a guide to the future and illustrates close relationships in the evolving practice of cartography over the first millennium and a half of the Christian era.    Contributors are Emily Albu, Raymond Clemens, Lucy Donkin, Evelyn Edson, Tom Elliott, Patrick Gauthier Dalché, Benjamin Kedar, Maja Kominko, Natalia Lozovsky, Yossef Rapoport, Emilie Savage-Smith, Camille Serchuk, Richard Talbert, and Jennifer Trimble.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"a vade mecum for the periods under review.

Martin, Choice, 47,1, September 2009.    \"Ce très intéressant volume, écho du 35e Atelier médiéval qui réunit à Vancouver, en octobre 2005, une quinzaine de spécialistes, est dédié à la mémoire des pionniers que furent, pour l’histoire de la cartographie, John Brian Harley et David Woodward, disparus respectivement en 1991 et en 2004. [...] Une abondante bibliographie, un index, quatorze planches en couleurs (sans compter les nombreuses illustrations à l’intérieur de l’ouvrage) font de ce recueil d’articles un instrument de travail indispensable pour les médiévistes intéressés par l’histoire des mentalités et un excellent complément au volume I de l’History of Cartography qui date de 1987, une époque où la numérisation n’avait pas encore révélé toutes ses possibilités.\"  - Germaine Aujac (Université de Toulouse) in: Anabases 12 (2010), p. 263-265.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Contributors  List of Illustrations  Acknowledgements    Introduction, Richard Talbert and Richard W.
