Biography
Beatrice Borghi is Associate Professor of Medieval History at the Department of Education, University of Bologna. Her research concerns the field of pilgrimage and its manifestations in the three monotheistic religions and the study of medieval statutes.
'African Landings makes a valuable contribution to medieval Mediterranean studies by presenting Italian travel diaries and records often unfamiliar to the Anglophone world. Through its analysis of these unique perspectives, the book offers fresh insights into the cultural exchanges that shaped both Eastern and Western histories.'
Marina Montesano, University of Messina, Italy
