Customer Reviews
Interesting perspective on the 1490's.
I was surprised by the small size of this book, yet it is quite impresive in scope. Bernard Lewis illustrates how the 1490's were historically significant for reasons other than just Columbus' discoveries in the New World. Although there is little room here for a great deal of detail, the book is impressive in the perspective that it provides.
