About 1246, Gautier de Metz wrote L'Image du monde (French, the image of the world), a work in poem form about creation, the Earth and the universe, wherein facts are mixed with fantasy. A chapter discussed astrology. It was translated in the Middle Ages into many languages and partly illustrated.
It illustrated a spherical Earth[1].
