The \u003ccite\u003eImago mundi\u003c\/cite\u003e was translated into most European vernaculars and extracts from it were adapted into vernacular works ranging from encyclopedias to literary fiction, verse and prose. This is the first study to examine this tradition as a unified whole. It focuses in particular on the permutations undergone by the depiction of the region designated as 'Europe' in the original text and its later adaptations. The book demonstrates the incredible flexibility of the original text and how this enabled the transformation of this spatial description to suit the linguistic, political and cultural needs of vernacular adaptations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Natalia Petrovskaia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 904856316X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789048563166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amsterdam University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Natalia Petrovskaia","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46526488281343,"sku":"9789048563166","price":131.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d1700334-0948-410f-beaf-1c4cd61bf063.jpg?v=1737556327","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/transforming-europe-in-the-images-natalia-petrovskaia-9789048563166","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
