what is mappa mundi
A mappa mundi (Latin [Ëmappa ËmÊndiË] ; plural = mappae mundi) is any medieval European map of the world.rior to its destruction in World War II, the Ebstorf map at 3.5 metres (11 ft) across was the largest surviving mappa mundi. Today that honor is held by the Hereford map which is 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) across.
