About This Book

This study examines travel around 1600 as a formative educational practice, tracing personalities, routes, and institutions that shaped early modern voyaging. It profiles notable travellers, extracts from guidebooks and itineraries, and explains transport modes, maps, locks, inns, and the economics of travel. Chapters compare Christian and Ottoman regions, pilgrimage routes to Jerusalem, and northern and western Europe, while considering practicalities such as on-the-road life and expenses. Illustrated contemporary sources and bibliographic references support a reconstruction of how travel functioned as cultural exchange and learning.
