| Sumario: | Uniquely combining Old Norse sources and Russian evidence, this book demonstrates what a large part Eastern Europe played in the lives and imagination of medieval Scandinavians. Based on the material of the Old Norse Icelandic sources written down in the twelfth to fourteenth centuries, this book demonstrates how medieval Scandinavians imagined Eastern Europe. It reconstructs the system of medieval Scandinavian perception of space in general, and the eastern part of the 'oecumene' in particular. It also examines the unique information of these sources, of which the Russian chronicles were unaware. |
