Comprising 400 entries on the people, places, inventions, and ideas that led to trade and travel in the Middle Ages, this encyclopedia is a useful starting place for such topics as navigation, Viking travel, the Crusades, Marco Polo, and Mappamundi (a form of mediaeval cartography). Besides the usual cross-references and bibliographies that complete most encyclopedia entries, this book includes a general bibliography, an index, a sequence of events, maps, and a list of Kings, Popes and Rulers. A list of thematic topics follows the introduction.
