This research considers the importance of verbal maps in the constitution of Medieval cartographical corpora, as well as the relationship between said maps and universal chronicles. After evaluating both cartography and historiography, different instances of universal chronicles in Portuguese are considered. This framing allows not only to rethink the translation and preservation of a verbal map by Alfonso X but also to reflect upon future approaches to universal historiography which can be read as a cartographical repository in the Portuguese Middle Ages.
