Six essays from a 2006 symposium on Medieval and Renaissance studies at the University of Tennessee focus on the travel book as an intersection between a specific literary genre and a specific mode of delivering literature. They consider genre, witness, and time; late Medieval ambassadors and the practice of cross-cultural encounters 1250-1450; Ruy González de Clavigo's narrative of courtly life and ceremony in Timur's Samarqand in 1404; copying maps by Matthew Paris; dangers, strangers, and friends in a Renaissance pilgrimage; and the cultural translation of Niccolao Manucci's book of travels. A battery of color plates is included. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
