mappa mundin.

Brit.

/ˌmapə ˈmʊndi/, U.S.

/ˌmɑpə ˈmʊndi/

Inflections: Plural mappae mundi.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin mappa mundi.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin mappa mundi map of the world (9th cent.; from c1210 in British sources) < mappa (see map n.¹) + classical Latin mundī , genitive singular of mundus world (see mundane adj.). Compare mappemonde n.

A map of the world of a kind produced in the medieval and early Renaissance periods. Also in extended use.The best-known example, preserved in Hereford Cathedral, England, is a 13th-cent. circular map showing Jerusalem at the centre. Geographic accuracy appears to be of less importance than details of cosmology, mythology, and history: the map features numerous superimposed drawings and writings illustrating the (supposed) races, creatures, phenomena, etc., of the world.
