About this book
Reviews
“This edited volume is a valid contribution and insight into how the early modern humanists of European geography have conceptualized the Oriental and what devices and approaches they have exploited to understand the Other. Similarly important, this volume sheds light onto how the humanists of the period have negotiated scholarly, aesthetic, political, and religious concerns in their works.” (Oriol Guni, KULT_online - Review Journal for the Study of Culture, Issue 58, April, 2019)
