Atlas of Medieval Europe

'A valuable resource for any teacher of medieval history at sixth-form or undergraduate level, and, at a reasonable paperback price, a better buy for students than most textbooks. There is a good balance between maps which provide reference for necessary bread-and-butter topics, from the Roman Empire in 395 to European expansion at the end of the middle ages, and those which illustrate new work and thinking on less expected topics.' - History

'As the editors of the Atlas of Medieval Europe rightly point out, a good atlas for teaching the history of medieval Europe has been sadly lacking for some time. Their attempt to solve this problem is not only commendable, but also a largely successful enterprise. Better still, the atlas has been designed as a teaching aid with scholarly sophistication and an attention to detail that many such aids do not possess. All medievalsits, not just historians, will find this atlas a helpful new resource.' - The Medieval Review

'For any serious study of medieval European history and culture, and atlas is essential. Despite the general familiarity of European geography, there is a hugh amount of unfamiliar detail - about places, people and events - to be assimilated. Presenting this in visual form, particularly through maps, is one of the most effective ways of teaching. An atlas of medieva Europe which combines clarity of presentation with richness of information has long been a desideratum, and Angus Mackay (University of Edingburgh) and David Ditchburn (University of Aberdeen) have noew managed to assemble such a volume, in collaboration with 35 expert contributers ... the aim, carried out very successfully, is to ensure clear and uncluttered maps with the right balance between detail and legibility.' - Journal of Australian and New Zealand Association for Medieval and Early Modern Studies
