Buch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Adelard of Bath was one of the most colourful personalities of the Middle Ages. He travelled to the Crusader kingdoms, to Sicily and south Italy, and translated texts on astronomy, astrology and magic from Arabic into Latin.
