Publisher's Synopsis
The Christian Topography of Cosmas Indicopleustes is a book written by Eric Otto Winstedt in 1909. The book is a translation of the original Greek manuscript written by Cosmas Indicopleustes, a 6th-century Byzantine merchant and geographer. The manuscript is a treatise on Christian cosmology and geography, and it describes a flat earth with a dome-shaped firmament above it. The book also includes descriptions of various lands and peoples, as well as a detailed account of the voyage of Saint Brendan, an Irish monk who supposedly sailed to America in the 6th century. Winstedt's translation is accompanied by extensive notes and commentary, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the text and its historical context. The Christian Topography of Cosmas Indicopleustes is an important work for scholars of early Christian theology, cosmology, and geography.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
