Today’s HUMANS: A MONSTROUS HISTORY thread is about one of the coolest, smallest maps I’ve ever handled: the Psalter map, c. 1265. SO MANY MONSTERS! All on a map not much larger than my hand. 🧵 1/7 💙📚 🗃 #medieval #earlymodern #histsci #HAHM

A central figure is flanked by two angels on top of a circular map of the world. Unusually embodied individuals appear along the lower right-hand edge of the map; a semicircular wall appears in the upper left-hand part of the map.Blue background to a red book cover. Cover has a large black oval mirror framed by sci-fi and fantasy monsters, with yellow lettering in a stylized font with details that resemble whale-tails and bats’ wings. Title at the top: Humans: A Monstrous History. Along the bottom curve of the mirror: Surekha Davies
