Der Niederrheinische Orientbericht (\"An Account of the Middle East\"), composed around 1350\/55 by an anonymous author in Low German, is powerful evidence of international relations between east and west during this period; it provides extensive information, dealing with such matters as the local culture, fauna and flora, and offers spectacular insights into the co-existence of many different religions and peoples. It is therefore an important source for our knowledge; but it has hitherto been neglected by scholars, not least because of the difficulty of its language. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume offers the first translation into English, thereby making the work available to a wider audience; it is accompanied by a detailed commentary on its historical, religious, military, architectural and political elements, elucidating the narrative fully. The volume also contains a contextual introduction, considering what can be known of the author, and the manuscript tradition.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 156\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.44 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 14, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47290036617465,"sku":"9781843846901","price":128.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/pYVIZ6ibdS9781843846901_942ad995-0f34-4c93-b5d2-37c2521833a6.webp?v=1769148357","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/der-niederrheinische-orientbericht-c-1350-an-account-of-the-oriental-world-by-an-anonymous-low-german-writer-hardcover-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
