    The Mappa Mundi is a spiritual and historical map, which conveys the teachings of the Bible and depicts the wonders of history and legend. To create this restored reproduction, The Folio Society has used digital technology to peel away the years and reveal, as much as possible, the glory of the medieval original.
    The Folio Society produces beautifully crafted collector’s editions of the world’s greatest books, each with unique illustrations or specially researched photographs throughout. Find the books you love at foliosociety.com.

    The reason why Moses is depicted with horns is a fascinating bit of history in its own right. Thanks.

      Indeed, there is a good Jonathan Pageau video on YT entitled "Garments of Light" where the horned Moses is explained.

      Moses depicted with horns because Enoch saw a vision about himself and his ancestors Adam and Eve as bulls and calves. He also saw a few of his people the same way.
      Beside that the others were birds and sheep.

      @Neil Heckman This reprint was a limited edition. It isn't unique or priceless but well outside my budget. Thanks for replying to a very old comment.

    It’s a medieval copy of a very ancient (13,000 yrs.) accurate map... revised!
