Abstract

The achievements of the medieval mappaemundi should be evaluated on their own terms and in the context of their purpose. Medieval mappaemundi expressed christian world view which reflected Augustinian theology. These Christian world view and Greek and Roman classical geography were combined to form the cultural barkground of the medieval mappaemundi. These maps had a function to organize physical space according to religious principles. The Christian concept of the world as a temporal phenomenon, derived from the simultaneous creation of time and space as described in St. Augustin's theology was represented in these maps. The purpose of this paper is to consider geographic characteristics of earthly paradise expressed in medieval mappaemundi and their cartographic characteristics. For this, firstly, we reviewed medieval Christian scholars' opinions on earthly paradise. Secondly, centered on geographic location and representation method, we examined cartographic characteristics of medieval paradise mapping, Thirdly, we considered the shift of paradise according to chronological change. Fourthly, we examined the reason why earthly paradise disappeared from world map after fourteenth century.

서양의 중세 세계지도는 중세의 관점과 기능적 측면에서 평가되어야 한다. 서양의 중세 세계지도는 그리스와 로마의 고전 지리학과 기교 세계관에 근거하여 세계를 표현하였다. 지도에 표출된 기독교 세계관은 기본적으로 아우구스티누스의 신학에 충실하였다. 중세 세계지도에서는 시간과 공간이 분리되지 않았으며, 시간과 공간의 흐름이 동시에 이루어진다. 본 연구는 서양의 중세 세계지도에 표현된 지상낙원의 지리적 특징과 지도학적 표현 방법을 고찰하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 먼저 지상낙원인 에덴동산의 지리적 특성에 대한 중세 학자들의 의견을 고찰하였다. 둘째, 지상낙원의 지도적 표현 방법에 대해 지리적 위치와 표현 기법 등을 중심으로 살펴보았다. 셋째, 시대에 따른 지리적 위치 변화를 살펴보았다. 넷째, 14세기 이후 지상낙원이 세계지도에서 사라진 원인을 고찰하였다.
