On the eve of the five hundredth anniversary of the discovery of the Americas, it bears remembering that in 1492, as Columbus was making his historic voyage, Europe was flourishing, at the very height of the Renaissance that transformed a continent. In art, politics, commerce, and society, the medieval world had given way to the modern era. But what was Europe really like then? What did London, Paris, Rome, and the other great centers of culture actually look like, and what was it like to travel from one to the other when the horse and the sailing ship were the most expeditious means available? How long would a typical journey take? Where would one stay and what could one eat along the way? And whom might one expect to meet? Both kings and pilgrims, to be sure. In Travel Guide to Europe 1492, the noted Italian historian Lorenzo Camusso offers modern-day readers and would-be adventurers ten itineraries for trips commonly taken in both the near and far reaches of fifteenth-century Europe. Whether Camusso's wayfarer is an ambitious young banker on the road From Florence to Bruges;the great painter Albrecht Rurer on his way from Nurember to Venice, a shipbuilder whose highly prized craft takes him from Seville to Antwerp via Barcelona, Beaune, and Paris; or a lonely pilgrim wandering from Vezelay to far-off Santiago de Compostela, he offers a vivid account of what such a journey would be like--the sights, sounds, perils, and pleasures--and in so doing he renders the very fabric of day-to-day life during this momentous ear in Europe's history.

The Age of Discovery began in the early part of the 15th century and carried on through most of the 17th century. It is sometimes also referred to as the Age of Exploration. This was a time when the people of Europe began to travel, discover, and explore more of the world than ever before, mapping and naming the places they found.

Excerpt from The World and Its Discovery: A Description of the Continents Outside Europe Based on the Stories of Their Explorers The object of this book is to arouse an interest in stories of discovery and then utilize it in behalf of geography. In so small a compass it has only been possible to deal briefly with a few journeys, but each account can, and in fact should, be supplemented from the original. Farther geographical information should also be added from the text-book in use to which the travel book is intended to give vivid illustration. Stories of exploration, when not so full of incident as to distract from the purpose of class meeting - which is work, not amusement - may be studied in school with advantage for the following reasons: (1) They contain a wealth of geographical information which can easily be memorized, because of the association with a central human figure. (2) They show in many instances, by the contrast between the past and present of a region, the influence of civilized man in modifying natural conditions. (3) They tell of man in the many stages of savagery, barbarism, and civilization. (4) They give the historical details of the spread of world - knowledge. The book is intended for use in lower and middle forms, alongside of the ordinary text-book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Shedding the Veil is a highly original overview of Europe's exploration and discovery beyond her own confines. It tackles the subject via an analysis of maps dating from circa 1434 to 1865, with an emphasis on the period before 1600. The book begins with an appraisal of the peculiar circumstances which led late medieval Europe to pursue long-distance travel, both overland and by sea, introduces cosmographic traditions inherited from classical times, and investigates pre-Columbian excursions into the western ocean. Finally, the great voyages and mappaemundi of the early sixteenth century are described in depth. After 1600 the focus begins to narrow North America and particularly to the colonization of the American Northeast. All maps discussed in detail are illustrated. 40 full-page b/w plates, 25 full-page color plates.
