ISBN: 2503511228 "This substantial volume brings together the twelve papers given at a meeting held at the University of Reims in France, in 1999. Many of them concern the career of the early fifteenth-century Reims cleric and humanist, Guillaume Fillastre, and his library, and the later papers often deal with subjects that concern readers of this review. Christiane Deluz thus writes about the geographical conceptions of Fillastre and of Pierre d'Ailly, Giuseppe Ragone writes about Cristoforo dei Buondelmonti, and Louis Duval-Arnould writes about the manuscript versions of the "Geography" of Ptolemy.
