- 요약This dissertation focuses on a pair of maps depicting Asia and Palestine currently at the British Library (BL Add. MS 10049, fol.64r-v), made around 1150 at the Benedictine abbey of Saint Martin in Tournai, Belgium. The maps encompass the recto and verso of the last folio of a compendium containing three geographical and toponymical works by Saint Jerome. My work uncovers how the pair interact with their codicological context - in both textual and material senses. It is crucial to investigate the Tournai maps to fully understand medieval cartographical practice in the twelfth century, especially in light of recent material discoveries made by Paul Harvey in collaboration with the British Library. With the help of multispectral imaging systems, Harvey found that each map has a draft version beneath it. Since this discovery, the Tournai maps have not yet been the subject of any extensive study. What I consider most distinct about the maps is what they reveal about their maker. I build on Harvey's discoveries to explain how each of the erasures he brought to light reveals that the map maker was referring to topographical commentaries by Saint Jerome as he drew the maps. This is demonstrated by the fact that each place name on the original iteration of the Palestine map (which is now underneath the map of Asia) accords with the Book of Hebrew Places, the third text included in the manuscript. My interpretation of this evidence is also supported by my own discovery that the map maker wrote marginal notations in the body of the text, which suggests that these maps were specifically made to complement the Jerome works in the manuscript. My discovery not only links the maps with their textual companions, but the notes also link the map maker to the mechanics of the manuscript's assembly. I argue that when we consider how maps relate to the manuscripts within which they are bound we can gain insights about their use as tools that enliven their settings, bringing the monastic user into the geography of salvation.
