Description
Originally written to accompany a 1994 Bodleian Library exhibition, this is a beautifully-illustrated and elegantly written testament to the cross-fertilization of European culture and tradition in the Middle Ages and early Modern period. The manuscripts and books presented here—including Ptolemy's "Cosmographia" and a Pilgrim's guide to the Holy Land—reveal the lively "trafficking of ideas" across the Continent.Tags
