This particular map is one of his several known cartographic contributions and is part of a collection of manuscripts that are housed in the British Library, catalogued as Royal MS 14 C VII.
The map, dating back to around 1250, is a folio from one of Paris's historical works, which includes a series of maps that are considered some of the most remarkable achievements in medieval cartography. It depicts the countries of England, Scotland, and Wales with a level of detail and accuracy that was unprecedented for the time, showcasing Paris's unique combination of scholarly knowledge and artistic skill.
Matthew Paris's map is characterized by its representation of towns, rivers, and other geographical features, as well as its inclusion of historical and contemporary events. It serves not only as a geographical guide but also as a historical document, reflecting the political and cultural landscape of 13th-century Britain. The map's significance lies in its role in the development of cartography in medieval Europe and its influence on subsequent mapmakers.
