dc.description.abstractThis essay considers medieval European perceptions of the terms “west” and “east,” as grasped by Medieval Latin-Christian writers. It considers, first, how the “east” constituted the most important cardinal point of the compass in the Medieval period; and then goes on to explore how Latin-Christian writers situated themselves to the “west” of Jerusalem, a peripheral European “west” in many ways very different from what is considered “Western” in modern and contemporary constructions of Westernness.
