From the medieval bazaars of Tabriz to the mysterious island of Caldihe--where sheep were said to grow on trees--Anthony Bale brings history alive in this book, inviting the reader to travel across a medieval world punctuated with miraculous wonders and long-lost landmarks. Journeying alongside scholars, spies, and saints, from western Europe to the Far East, the Antipodes, and the ends of the world, this is no ordinary travel guide, containing everything from profane pilgrim badges, Venetian laxatives, and flying coffins to encounters with bandits and trysts with princesses. Using previously untranslated contemporary accounts from as far and wide as Turkey, Iceland, Armenia, North Africa, and Russia, this is a living atlas that blurs the distinction between real and imagined places, offering the reader insight into how medieval people understood their world.
