- Smith, 1872. The manuscript map is at Bristol Record Office: BRO 04720, fol. 5v. See Ralph, 1986, 309-16. The significance of the map’s place in the Kalendar, and its relationship to Ricart’s (Galfridian) account of the city’s origins, has not received comment, however. Back to context...

- See Clarke, 2006, 99-105. It is worth noting that Ranulph Higden (c.1282-1364), another incumbent of St Werburgh’s, not only wrote a ‘world geography’ in the first part of his Polychronicon but also, it seems, had access to a mappamundi. See Ranulph Higden, Polychronicon , vol. 1; Edson, 2007, 165-169. Back to context...
