Jewish Travellers in the Middle Ages : 19 Firsthand Accounts

Rating:
Summary: Cannot be used by serious researcher!
Review: Cannot be used as a source because of an incorrect translation, which distorts the histrography. Also there are other issues concerning the scholarship. It might could be saved if the editor and publishers were to redo the work. Perhaps grade school teachers could use the book in support of their lesson plans. Invest in both a better translated and written book.

Summary: History of Geography
Review: This book is a rare contribution to the history of Geography. Side by side, religious voyages and places description bring a lot of informations, impressions and pieces of old imaginary. Like Arabian and Cristian Middle Ages geographers, Jewish itineraires are an important source to understand simultaneous world conceptions and how nets of commerce and cultural relations were stablished around Mediterran Sea and Asia.
