A Guide to the Middle Ages: The World Through the Eyes of Scholars, Spies, Merchants, and Pilgrims
British medieval historian Anthony Bale invites readers on an odyssey through the world of the Middle Ages, full of wonders and surprises, recounting advice passed from mouth to mouth by travelers of the time. Traveling alongside scholars, spies, monks to... distant places, you will walk the streets of Rome, visit the khan's court in Beijing, ride a donkey through Jerusalem, which is under the control of the Mamluks, and explore the bustling bazaar of Tabriz. Based on previously untranslated documents of the time, testimonies of pilgrims and travelers, «A Guide to the Middle Ages» presents a witty and captivating exploration of how Europeans perceived the world beyond their continent.
