The art, science, and technology of medieval travel / edited by Robert Bork and Andrea Kann.

The essays in this book demonstrate both the significant constraints on medieval travel and the importance of travel in catalysing fruitful medieval developments in artistic, scientific, and technical fields. By paying close attention to some of the ways in which medieval innovators reshaped both the practice and theory of travel, the authors of these essays help to explain how and why the travel culture of the modern world came to differ so radically from that of antiquity.
