It is with great pleasure Current Issue that we present a special issue devoted Photo­bank to medieval mapping, guest­edited by Asa Mittman and Dan Terkla. Medieval Submission maps have long intrigued scholars. Guidelines Although they sometimes illustrated geographical realities, far more often Organizations they reflected political and religious world views and attempts to understand Exhibitions history and its place within the mysterious plans of God. The six essays Discoveries in this issue explore notions of religous, social, and art history with special Related Links emphasis on the Holy Land and of world maps (mappa mundi) and how each reflected ever­changing ideals. Written by some of the most important scholars, including Ingrid Baumgärtner, Gerda Brunnlechner, Marcia Kupfer, Asa Mittman, Bettina Schoeller, and Diarmiud Scully, this issue promises to bring new critical attention to medieval cartography. We are adding a regular section on ideas associated with teaching medieval art and architecture. In this issue are short articles titled “3­D Medieval Art & Architectural History” and “Not your Father’s Medieval Art: Contemporary Medieval Inspiration and Interaction” which suggest new approaches using digital and printing technology and humorous contemporary interaction. The “Featured Website,” that of Flickr, brings to the fore tens of thousands of images of medieval art and architecture that can be used for teaching and research. This issue also includes an expanded Discoveries section with information on re­discovered treasures, hidden documents, significant re­attributions (who will be the first art historian to write about the Capitoline Wolf as a work of medieval sculpture?), cats that walk across manuscripts, early evidence of spectacles, a new portrait of Louis I, medieval graffiti at Norwich Cathedral, and a scale model of the Florence Cathedral dome. Published by Digital Kenyon: Research, Scholarship, and Creative Exchange, 2013 Peregrinations: Journal of Medieval Art and Architecture, Vol. 4, Iss. 1 [2013] Some Housekeeping As we enter our second decade of publication, we are making changes to the format and coverage of the journal. In 2002, there were few easily accessible sources that listed calls for papers, conferences to attend, and publishing opportunities in a timely manner, but now such sources abound (H­ArtHist on H­Net as well as other online sources). To that end, we will no longer list these, though we will still feature museum and gallery exhibitions of medieval art. Photobank The Photobank database continues to serve as a resource for scholars and teachers. Recent uploads include details of English parish churches. Please note that our Photobank has undergone considerable renovation and is now part of the Ohio Digital Resource Commons (DRC) at Kenyon College. You can search by either typing in a key word or name in the Search DRC box (e.g. Canterbury) or click on the Peregrinations link in the list of Communities in DRC, and there you will have access to a full text search. The Photobank continues to grow with copyright­free images all downloadable for use in research and teaching. The Future For future issues we are actively seeking articles on any aspect of medieval art and architecture, including: long and short scholarly articles, scholarly book reviews, review articles on issues facing the field of medieval art history, interesting notes and announcements, useful website recommendations, new archeological discoveries, and recent museum acquisitions. We are interested in publishing articles that will undergo double­blind review as well as those which are subject only to regular editing process, including articles that are the result of preliminary research. We are also looking for images to add to our photobank, to be shared and used by anyone in the classroom and in their research. To round out the scholarly portion of the journal, we are also seeking short, amusing excerpts from medieval sources, comments on the Middle Ages in movies and popular culture, etc. Again, welcome to Peregrinations. Any suggestions or comments you have concerning the journal would be most welcome. Please feel free to e­mail us at: Sarah Blick (editor).

The essays appear here thanks to the editors of Peregrinations who contacted Asa Simon Mittman to suggest that the organizers of the IMC “Mappings” sessions consider soliciting, vetting, and editing extended versions of talks delivered in those sessions. Asa and two of those organizers, Felicitas Schmieder and Dan Terkla, saw this as a job worth doing, a unique opportunity to showcase new work on old maps, and took it on. Until 2011, there were no annual sessions on critical cartography at large congresses like those organized by The Medieval Academy and The Medieval Institute in the United States or at the IMC in England. Of course, the International Conference on the History of Cartography [ICHC] meets every other year, and there are series devoted to the study of maps: for example, the Maps and Society Lectures at the Warburg Institute, London; the Oxford Seminars in Cartography; and the Cambridge Seminar in the History of Cartography. These well-established gatherings feature first-class work but, the ICHC aside, draw a relatively small audience, most of whom are map enthusiasts. In order to reach a wider audience on a regular basis, the first “Mappings” sessions were organized for the 2011 IMC. The organizers hoped that the sessions would become an annual presence and provide opportunities for map historians and scholars in complementary disciplines—art, architectural, cultural, literary, and social history; diplomatics; numismatics; paleography; and 1 https://digital.kenyon.edu/perejournal/vol4/iss1/24 et al. sigillography, for example—and at various stages of their careers to gather and present their work to a large, multidisciplinary audience of medievalists. This hope has been fulfilled: to date there have been nine sessions, and there are three more on the 2013 IMC program. At the conclusion of the 2013 Congress, thirty talks from a variety of disciplines will have been given in twelve sessions, and the 2014 IMC program is in the planning stages. These six essays by map scholars at various career stages interweave art, cultural, literary, religious, and social history and so target Peregrinations: Journal of Medieval Art & Architecture’s diverse audience of medievalists. The first two essays consider the role sources, broadly construed, play in the construction of maps. In “Burchard of Mount Sion and the Holy Land,” Ingrid Baumgärtner considers “the relationship between the description and mapping of spaces and the feasibility of describing and mapping such spatial representations.”1 She examines the ways in which verbal texts and images interact with and inform one another and shows how contexts for use and reuse matter, even in works influenced by a single source.
