Limanskaya, L. Yu. Visualization of Spiritual Travels in Chronicles and Travel Guides of the XII–XIII century: Hugh of Saint Victor and Matthew Paris.

Abstract: Visualization of a travel assumed, firstly, searching for physically embodied traces of God in earthly things and secondly, anagogic ascent to their spiritual content. Important role in this process was referred to maps and travel guides. Medieval cartography was a historical and mythological chronotopus. Visual and verbal fragments of such maps were determined by the topographic information of the Old and New Testaments and the Antique geographic data which survived through the times of Barbarian invasions.
