Notes:
CCCC MS 265 Identifies the unfinished mappa mundi in CCCC MS 265 as an earlier analogue to the twelfth-century mappae mundi in Oxford, St John’s College MS 17, and London, British Library MS Harley 3667. Suggests date and provenance of map as Worcester, 1085-95. Discusses the possibility of a hitherto unrecognized tradition of late Anglo-Saxon mappae mundi, passim
