Late Medieval Infographics

That the structure of the world,
The geography of Earth
The arrangement of rivers,

Of continents, of oceans,
Even of the rose of winds,
Should follow orthography

Of the Latin alphabet,
Conform to the initial
Letters of two Latin words,

Orbis Terrarum, as seen
From Evrard d’Espinque’s art
Illuminating the work

Of Barthélémy l'Anglais,
Made sense back then. Consider
Your own chains of causation.
