Inventions of the Middle Ages by Chiara Frugoni, 2012 History of Inventions | Translated into English

A beautiful, like-new copy of Inventions of the Middle Ages in its original sleeve. Written by Chiara Frugoni and published in Italy, this is an English translation in full-color produced by London's Folio Society in 2012. 

According to the author's preface... "What do we owe to the Middle Ages? Let me try to list a few things: eyeglasses, paper, watermarks, books, printing and movable type, universities, arabic numerals, the use of zero in mathematics, the date of the birth of Christ, books, notaries, charitable lending societies, the family trees, the names of musical notes, and the musical scale." And that's just a few!
