Mappae Clavicula, also known as "The Key of Maps," is a medieval Latin text that serves as an encyclopedic guide to various subjects, particularly those related to geography, cartography, and navigation. It is often attributed to the 12th-century scholar and cartographer, Simon of Saint-Quentin. The work combines maps, geographical descriptions, and information about the world known to Europeans during the Middle Ages.
