Review Quotes
ASTENE Journal
"This book is a useful resource for those interested in the ‘earliest’ of travellers . . . and provides an important addition to the observations, experiences, and perspective provided by other 17th century travellers. Put simply, a manuscript of incredible significance is now available at your finger-tips for easy perusal, and one of the most charming features of this work? The authors provide a beautiful pull-out printed copy (in full colour) of the Vatican map at the back (the equal length of ten pages of the book). A ‘splendid volume,’ as a previous reviewer of the work put it, and well-worth owning."
