Di Cesare's book usefully illuminates the place and purpose of geography in political and cultural thought, especially its relevance to the crusades and ecclesiastical politics. [...] She succeeds in clarifying the relationships between three important figures in early fourteenth century geographical thought, Paolino Minorita, Marino Sanudo the Elder, and Petrus Vesconte. The book will be of most interest to scholars of cartography and geographical thought but also merits of the attention of anyone engaged with understanding the intellectual cultures of Avignon, Venice, and Naples in the early fourteenth century and those interested in the links between Franciscans, geographical knowledge, and the eastern Mediterranean. --Victoria M. Morse, Carleton College, The Medieval Review 17.06.10
