About this book

This book is a volume in the Penn Press Anniversary Collection. To mark its 125th anniversary in 2015, the University of Pennsylvania Press rereleased more than 1,100 titles from Penn Press's distinguished backlist from 1899-1999 that had fallen out of print. Spanning an entire century, the Anniversary Collection offers peer-reviewed scholarship in a wide range of subject areas.

Reviews

"Salimbene, the thirteenth-century friar, presents to the modern reader an extraordinarily vivid vision of his world, full of variety, the bizarre, and exasperating confusion which we associate with the underside of the Middle Ages. . . . A work authentically medieval in spirit."
