Known then as Scythia and the island of the northern ocean, the territory is now called Scandinavia, Russia, eastern Europe, and countries east of the Caspian Sea. Chekin (history and science and technology, Russian Academy of Sciences) analyzes 198 western European and Byzantine maps that date between the eighth and the thirteenth centuries and contain information about the north and northeast of the known world. Most are mappae mundi, world maps, but some are regional maps derived from that dominant cartographic genre. Included are 170 pages of color and monochrome reproductions. Translated from the 1999 Russian edition. Distributed in the US by the David Brown Book Company. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
