Chapter XII: Regional Geography (3)

Text size

The growth of medieval knowledge of Asia is traced in the introduction to Yule, _Cathay and the Way Thither_, 1913–1916, and much important material on this topic may be gleaned from the notes in the third edition of Yule’s _Marco Polo_, 1903, and from Cordier’s _Ser Marco Polo_, 1920. India as depicted on medieval maps is the subject of an interesting treatise by Pullé, _La cartografia antica dell’India_, 1901–1905. Lowes, in _The Dry Sea_, 1905, deals with interesting problems in the geography of Central Asia in the Middle Ages (see also Pelliot, _Chrétiens d’Asie centrale et d’Extrême-Orient_, 1914). On the history of commercial connections between the Near East and Europe during our period, two highly important books are Heyd, _Commerce du Levant_, 1885–1886 (reprinted 1923), and Schaube, _Handelsgeschichte der romanischen Völker des Mittelmeergebiets_, 1906. Dreesbach, _Der Orient in der altfranzösischen Kreuzzugsliteratur_, 1901, is a résumé of notices relating to the Near East as they appear in French literature of the Crusades.

Two scholarly works deal with the widening of Western knowledge of Central Africa in antiquity and during the Middle Ages. These are Simar, _La géographie de l’Afrique centrale_, 1912, and Langenmaier, _Alte Kenntnis ... der Zentralafrikanischen Seenregion_, 1916. Schaube’s _Handelsgeschichte_ and Mas-Latrie, _Traités de paix et de commerce ..., concernant les relations des Chrétiens avec les Arabes de l’Afrique septentrionale_, 1866, are also important for the relations between Europe and North Africa.

Not much has been written in modern times upon the geography of Europe as it was conceived in the period covered by the present book. Hungary as it figures in the _chansons de geste_ is the subject of an article by Karl, _La Hongrie ... dans les chansons de geste_, 1908, and there are other monographs of limited scope, but no general discussion. The progress of geographical knowledge of the North is outlined by Moritz, _Die geographische Kenntnis von den Nord- und Ostseeküsten_, 1904; Weinhold, _Die Polargegenden Europas_, 1871; and especially by Nansen, _In Northern Mists_, 1911. The history of Icelandic geography (both of historical geography and of geographical studies in Iceland) is treated by Thoroddsen, _Geschichte der isländischen Geographie_, 1897. European wanderings in the Atlantic and legends of fabulous islands in that ocean have been made the subject of a large library of books and monographs. We may mention here Westropp, _Brasil and the Legendary Islands of the Atlantic_, 1912, and the recent volume of Babcock, _Legendary Islands of the Atlantic_, 1922.

BIBLIOGRAPHY

This bibliography is intended merely as an aid to those who wish to carry on further studies of the topics covered by this book. It is in no sense complete. The publications listed are for the most part only those to which reference is made in the Notes. Enough, but only enough, additional information is given about each entry to enable the reader to identify it. In the case of original sources the attempt has been made to refer to modern critical editions, and only to manuscripts or early printed editions where modern critical editions are lacking. More complete bibliographical information may be obtained from the publications discussed on pp. 491–493 above.

The arrangement is alphabetical by authors and, in the case of anonymous works, by the first important word in the titles. (Collections of sources are in general placed under the editor’s name.) The names of authors of original sources, or the titles in the case of anonymous original sources or collections of sources, are given in capital letters, the former in Roman, the latter in italic type. The names of authors of modern, secondary studies are set in small letters in Roman type. Different works by the same ancient, Arabic, or medieval author are listed together in the same entry and are indicated by Roman numerals. Different works by the same modern author are listed separately and are arranged chronologically.

Cross-references within the Bibliography are, as in the Notes, given in abbreviated form. The full titles of the works referred to will be found in the Bibliography in their proper places.

For a topical discussion of the bibliography of ancient and medieval geography, see the Bibliographical Note above.
