Synopsis
Excerpt from Touring in 1600: A Study in the Development of Travel as a Means of Education
But thus you see we maintain a trade, not for gold, silver, nor jewels; nor for silks; nor for spices; nor any other commod ity of matter; but only for God's first creature, which was Light; to have Light (i say), of the growth of all parts of the world we have twelve that sail into foreign countries, who bring us the books, and abstracts and patterns of experiments of all other parts. These we call Merchants of Light. F. Bacon (i 56i - I6a6), New Atlantis.

Touring in 1600: A Study in the Development of Travel as a Means of Education
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book captures the spirit of pre-1600 European travel, which was still an undertaking reserved only for the wealthy and brave. The author draws on records penned by actual tourists of the time, from budding diplomats to fleeing religious minorities and even a calculating organ-builder who found himself on a diplomatic mission to the sultan's court. The collective stories of these intrepid voyagers paint a vivid and uniquely personal portrait of an era when explorers were just beginning to return to Europe with tales of strange and distant lands. This book shows that the spirit of exploration was not limited to the famous; countless others were swept up by the changes in European society that made wandering both possible and fashionable. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330293140_0
