Deutsch: DieRadkarte, eine mittelalterliche Form der Darstellung der damals bekannten Erde.

English: AT and O map orT-O map, is a type ofmedieval world map. It represents the physical world as described by the7th century scholarIsidore of Seville in hisEtymologiae (chapter 14,de terra et partibus):

Orbis a rotunditate circuli dictus, quia sicut rota est [...] Undique enim Oceanus circumfluens eius in circulo ambit fines. Divisus est autem trifarie: e quibus una pars Asia, altera Europa, tertia Africa nuncupatur.

"The [inhabitated] mass of solid land is called 'round' after the roundness of a circle, because it is like a wheel [...] Because of this, the Ocean flowing around it is contained in a circular limit, and it is divided in three parts, one part being called Asia, the second Europe, and the third Africa."

Isidore does not assume aflat earth, shaped "like a wheel", he assumes a round earth in correspondence to the theory of thespherical earth that had been the mainstream assumption at least sinceAristotle.

The T and O map represents the top-half of the globe, it was thought that no one had ever been to the ‚other‘ half, theantipodes, where some thought people known asantipodeans lived. TheT consists of theMediterranean, the RussianDon River and theNile, dividing the threecontinents,Asia,Europe andAfrica, and theO is the encirclingOcean.Jerusalem was generally assumed to lie at the center of the circle. Asia was typically the size of the other two continents combined. Because the sun rose in the east, Paradise (the Garden of Eden) was generally depicted as being in the outmost of Asia, situated at the top portion of the map.

Español: Mapa de T en O, o mapa Orbis Terrarum, es un tipo de mapamundi elaborado en la Edad Media y caracterizado por su alta carga teológica. El primero en realizar estos mapamundis fue Isidoro de Sevilla.
