A Mapmaker’s Dream: The Meditations of Fra Mauro, Cartographer to the Court of Venice.
Hodder & Stoughton, London 1997, 8vo, orig. bind med omslag, xviii + (2) + 151 + (1) s., engelsk tekst.
«In sixteenth-century Venice, in an island monastery, a cloistered monk experienced the adventure of a lifetime — all within the confines of his cell. […] A Mapmaker’s Dream tells the story of Fra Mauro and his struggle to realize his life’s work: to make a perfect map — one that represents the full breadth of Creation. […] As he listens to the tales of the strange and fantastic things they’ve seen, Mauro comes to regard the world as much more than continents and kingdoms: he discovers that it is also made up of a vast and equally real interior landscape of beliefs, aspirations, and dreams.»
