Today it is widely assumed that medieval scholars thought the world was flat, but that is a myth largely invented in the 19th century. It was popularized in a work by Washington Irving that can be charitably called “imaginative history.” https://lithub.com/the-medieval-philosopher-who-outlined-the-basics-of-the-universe/
