Further, socio-economically and politically the Latin West had gradually drifted apart from the Greek and Moslem East, thereby widening the already present cultural cleavage. Meanwhile the Moslems were slowly unearthing the treasures of Greek and Persian wisdom, and in so doing they became fired with enthusiasm to study them. Aided by their own native genius, by the keenest inter-regional competition - for Moslem culture radiated from a number of centers distributed all the way from Samarkand to Seville - and the stimulus of the classical models, they succeeded in advancing the cause of every known science before being overtaken by a tyrannical obscuranticism. For example, the Moslems of the Eastern Caliphate had become familiar with Claudius Ptolemy's Almagest and Geographia Slide #119 ) through Syriac translations and through versions of the original Greek text.

Middle Ages Cartography: Faith, not Facts The earliest maps were nothing more than artists' conceptions of reality. At the time, ideas of geographical scale and conformity were fuzzy. Road maps made by Romans, as well as those made later for the Crusaders and pilgrims who followed, simply listed names of towns or travel times along roads, which never were drawn to scale or in proper relationships to anything else nearby. A 16th century map of the by John Wierex in Belgium. Later, the concept of man's relationship to God dominated map design in the well-known "T-O" maps of the early Middle Ages. The world was a disk with all the land surrounded by sea, and the maps were "oriented" with Eden and Paradise at the top, Asia below that, Europe to the left and Africa to the right. The "circle sea" was the "O," and the water between the lands made the "T." These maps were more expressions of divine cosmology than physical geography, but there was no difference to the early map makers.

THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC "Geography for Life: National Geography Standards 1994" is a major contribution to social studies and geographical education. It specifies what students in American schools should learn and be able to do with regard to geography. There are six essential elements of geography into which 18 standards are grouped. ELEMENT 1: THE WORLD IN SPATIAL TERMS Maps, photographs, and satellite images are principal tools for investigating the relationships between people, places, and environments. When information is shown using those tools, it is in a spatial context. The spatial context for geography is the Earth. The geographically informed person knows and understands: (Standard 1) How to use maps and other geographic representations, tools, and technologies to acquire, process, and report information from a spatial perspective. (Standard 2) How to use mental maps to organize information about people, places, and environments in a spatial context. (Standard 3) How to analyze the spatial organization of people, places, and environments on Earth's surface.
