Travel in the Middle Ages

Rating:
Summary: An expertly researched history
Review: An original and scholarly work by Jean Verdon (Professor Emeritus of Literature and Humanities at Limoges University), and ably translated into English by George Holoch, Travel In The Middle Ages presents the personal testimonies of those who adventured upon perilous roads in the Middle Ages, including clergy, merchants, agents of the king, sailors, and many others. An expertly researched history and a thoroughly "reader friendly" descriptive text offers the students and non-specialist general reader alike, a rare and informative insight into life and times of Europeans several centuries past. Travel In The Middle Ages is seminal and enormously important contribution to Medieval Studies reference collections and reading lists.
