On the one hand, they might have been situated in far-away regions, mainly in the east and north, that one most often only knew from hearsay and which were inhabited by strange beings: humans with their faces on their chest, without a mouth, or with dog heads. On the other hand, the edges of one's world could just mean the borders of the community where one lived and that one sometimes might not have had the possibility to cross during one's whole life.In this volume specialists from eight European countries offer their ideas about different edges of the medieval world and contribute to a discussion that has been increasing greatly in Medieval Studies in recent times. 410 0$aMuhu proceedings ;$v1. 410 0$aCEU medievalia ;$v11. 606 $aMiddle Ages$vCongresses 606 $aCivilization, Medieval$vCongresses 610 $aBaltic Countries, Civilization, Medieval, Middle Ages. 615 0$aMiddle Ages 615 0$aCivilization, Medieval 676 $a940.1 701 $aJaritz$b Gerhard$f1949-$0152575 701 $aKreem$b Juhan$01583886 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778008403321 996 $aThe edges of the medieval world$93867364 997 $aUNINA
