Book Overview
€œChristian Topography € by Cosmas Indicopleustes offers a unique glimpse into the world of the 6th century. Written by a merchant-turned-monk, this work challenges the prevailing scientific views of the time with a biblical cosmology. Cosmas's detailed descriptions of his travels and his interpretation of scripture provide valuable insights into the religious and scientific thought of the era.
This edition makes accessible a foundational text for understanding the intersection of faith and science in the early Byzantine period. Discover the world as envisioned by a man who sought to reconcile his observations with his religious beliefs, leaving behind a lasting testament to the intellectual ferment of his age.
