The London to Dover section from Matthew Paris's Itinerary map of London to Palestine, 13th century. By Matthew Paris (c1200-1259). Pilgrimage maps of Jerusalem began to appear in the 1200s. Here English Benedictine monk, Matthew Paris, depicts the journey from London to Jerusalem. The map appears in versions of Paris’s Chronica Maiora, his history of the world from its creation to 1253. It appears in a linear style, with folios pasted back to back, and may have originally been a single long strip map.
