From the fall of acre to the journey of vasco de gama, the author provides an invaluable description of late medieval mediterranean trade. Originally published in 1984. The princeton legacy library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of princeton university press.
