British medieval historian Anthony Bale takes readers on an odyssey through the wonders and surprises of the Middle Ages, recounting the advice that was passed down by word of mouth among the wanderers of the time. Travelling with scholars, spies, and monks to the ends of the earth, you will walk the streets of Rome, visit the Khan’s court in Beijing, ride a donkey through Mamluk-ruled Jerusalem, and visit the bustling bazaar of Tabriz. Drawing on previously untranslated documents from the period, as well as the testimonies of pilgrims and travellers, A Guide to the Middle Ages is a witty and entertaining exploration of how Europeans perceived the world beyond their continent.
