The A. considers the historical geography of place and space within the context of medieval Britain. Through examining the geography invoked within a particular hagiographic account about the life of St Samson, he explores how the medieval natural

voir avec G. de Tilbury. La controverse est réactualisée, et les principaux critères de datation sont réexaminés. La conclusion propose un compromis.#The date of the Ebstorf worldmap, whether it originated early (between 1208 and 1250) or late (around
1300), has been controversial for decades. In the case of the earlier dates, Gervase of Tilbury is regarded as spiritus rector of the map. Gervase of Tilbury was the author of the Otia imperialia, an encyclopaedic description of the world which he
(1223–1234, died before 1244). Protagonists of the c.1300 date hold that the map has nothing to do with Gervase of Tilbury. In this article the controversy is updated, and the main criteria for the dating are reviewed. The conclusion offers a compromise
: if the Ebstorf map really was made around 1300, it should be seen as a copy of Gervase's earlier map.

et la carte murale d'Hugues.#Recent research in England and France on twelfth- and thirteenth-century cartography posits Hugh of St Victor as an important source for ideas incorporated in maps of the period. P. D. A. Harvey and Patrick Gautier Dalché
have noted Hugh's influence, and Peter Barber has described a ‘third-stream’ of map making flowing from Hugh's concepts of mapping through the Munich Isidore map (c.1130) and into a group of important Anglo-French mappaemundi. This article shows how

of production close to, or a little after, 1400. Comparison with other late medievalmaps of large inland areas from any part of Europe shows how precocious or advanced the Gough Map is, even for the beginning of the fifteenth century. Arguments suggesting
The date commonly given for the Gough map of Britain, about 1360, is, in the author’s opinion, wrong. Arguments that have been offered to support such a dating are invalid. The best indication of the date of the map is the writing on it, which
is essentially in a hand of about 1400, a dating endorsed by expert palaeographical opinion. Indeed, a few exceptional features of the handwriting may suggest a slightly later date. A few specific non-palaeographical features of the map confirm a date
that the map had an earlier ‘prototype’, reflecting the affairs of King Edward I, are also found to be without merit.
The author describes the climate change in the early modern times from the medieval warm period to the little ice age with examples of maps, manuscript maps (tyberiades) and season paintings. In the 15th century word maps of Latin Ptolemy-Editions
refer to sea ice in Northern Europe. Manuscript maps document local events, for example the termination of viticulture and the partly disastrous advance of the Alpine glaciers. In the 16th and 17th century Flemish and Dutch artists create sceneries
of snow and ice. In the middle of the 19th century the first glacier maps emerge and from 1880 on exact mapping starts, which documents the retreat of the Alpine glaciers. (IfL)

The extent of farm desertion in central Sweden during the late medieval agrarian crisis : landscape as a source
In this renewed investigation of the magnitude of farm desertion in the Late Middle Ages, field survey of the physical landscape and some historical maps are used as evidence, alongside conventional written sources. The extent of farm desertion has
