Anthony Bale: A Travel Guide to the Middle Ages

Sponsored by The Grolier Club

Join The Grolier Club as British historian, professor, and author Anthony Bale discusses his new book, A Travel Guide to the Middle Ages: The World through Medieval Eyes, with Grolier Club member Gillian Adler. This talk is co-sponsored by Dr. Adler’s new foundation, the New York Medieval Society. Professor Bale will explore a range of sources – maps, travel guides, itemized records, itineraries, pilgrim badges, and more – to illuminate the marvelous real and imagined journeys of medieval travelers. Focusing on medieval pilgrims’ books, he will share with us how these texts were composed, used, and disseminated, often voyaging themselves far and wide. Note: this is a live webcast.
