Reviews
This most welcome volume makes a significant contribution to the study of 12th-century cosmological Latin literature'e¦ The translation of the Cosmographia in particular is fluid and lucid, and this comparative format makes a historically influential but famously difficult medieval allegorical Latin text accessible to a broad readership.
