Far from thinking that the world was flat, people in the Middle Ages developed sophisticated perspectives about their surroundings. In this volume, 11 scholars examine a variety of "worlds" imagined by medieval writers, focusing on texts from the 3rd to the 15th century in Latin, French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Arabic (with all quotations given in English translation).
