The Catalan Atlas of 1375

The Most Interesting Map in the World

March 16

6:00p FIA Theater

The Catalan Atlas is a world map made in 1375 for King Charles V of France (r. 1364–1380) and is today housed in the National Library of France. A table map, the Atlas measures about 10 feet long and 2 feet high and is famous for being the oldest surviving map to draw extensively on Marco Polo’s Description of the World. In this illustrated lecture, Mark Cruse will discuss the Atlas’s origins and sources, its innovative depictions of major places and peoples, its relationship to the library of King Charles V, and its place in the history of cartography.

To mark the 50th Anniversary of Title IX, WCMU Public Media sits down with Central Michigan University’s most legendary coaches. Marcy Weston, Margo Jonker, Cristy Freese and Sue Guevara discuss how the landmark law impacted them and what advice they have for future women athletes and coaches.

Easy Cherry Hand Pies

An easy cherry hand pie recipe using homemade crust and fresh, in-season red cherries. Easy enough for kids to make on their own.

Prep time: 10 Minutes Cook time: 20 Minutes Total time: 30 Minutes Yield: 8

Ingredients

Filling:

1 cup chopped cherries

3 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons corn starch

1/2 teaspoon lemon zest pinch of salt

Crust:

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour plus more for dusting

1/2 cup cold unsalted butter

1 tablespoon sugar

1 pinch salt

1 teaspoon vinegar

Up to 2 tablespoons water

Egg wash: one egg mixed with 2 teaspoons of water.

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

2. To make the filling, mix the chopped cherries with the sugar, corn starch, lemon zest, and salt.

3. To make the crust, add the flour, butter, sugar, and salt to a food processor and pulsate until the mixture resembles fine corn meal.

4. Add the vinegar and 1/2 tablespoon water and pulsate again. Add more water if needed. Dough should be workable but not sticky.

5. On a flour dusted surface, roll and cut the dough into small 4 inch circles that are 1/16-inch thick.

6. Spoon a tablespoon of filling on to one circle of dough. Place another dough circle on top of the filling and crimp it down with a fork until the edges are sealed. Repeat this until all the dough is used up.

7. Cut a “X” on top of each unbaked pie.

8. Brush each pie top with egg wash.

9. Place the pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

10. Bake for 20 minutes and allow the pies to cool 10 minutes before serving.
