About This Item
Woodbridge, Suffolk, U.K.: The Boydell Press, 1989 Tight copy - no internal markings, clean text pages. Original dustjacket - price clipped. B/w illustrations throughout. "Our medieval ancestors moved about far more than we might expect. The many sources quoted reveal the diversity of the medieval traveller : princes and their armies, pilgrims, merchants and envoys, even fugitives and spies. Norbert Ohler lets the travellers speak for themselves, and from the many sources builds up a picture of what travel was really like - why people travelled, and how they prepared for the journey; means of transport; hospices and inns; and defence against attack and natural hazards, sickness and starvation. Based largely on material from western Europe, although Byzantium, the Far East, the West Indies and the Islamic world are also included, this book offers a fresh and illuminating perspective on a fascinating aspect of the medieval world."
