[QUOTE="Orielensis, post: 4457393, member: 96898"]For me, these weeks of quarantine lead to more time for reading, including [I]The Travels of Marco Polo[/I], Burton Raffel's relatively new translation of the [I]Cantar de mio Cid[/I], and Peter Jackson's 2017 monograph [I]The Mongols and the Islamic World[/I]. By accident, this has made me "venture east" and stray away a little from my usual collecting fields of medieval Central Europe, Rome, and the occasional Greek.
