This parchment codex of 226 folios contains Psalter, with additional hymns and prayers and a medieval world map ('The Map Psalter'). Folio 9 of this manuscript contains a world-map with Jerusalem in the centre. Medieval world-maps reflected less the state of geographical knowledge than a schema of divine order. For practical purposes, to aid travellers and sailors, there were reasonable accurate maps, but the idea of the world was something different.
