ISBN: 9780192802651 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Renaissance range in changes at a breathtaking pace, changes that shape the world to this day.

As portable artifacts, these objects are particularly potent tools for exploring the cultural currents flowing between the Orient and Occident....
