The Map of Knowledge: A Thousand-Year History of How Classical Ideas Were Lost and Found by Violet Moller

informative slow-paced

3.0

The topic is fascinating but the writing was boring, and often unnecessarily speculative (when she tried to bring the obscure, lives of her ancient protagonists to life). Also a but superficial; the premise of 3 texts in 7 cities sends a bit gimmicky.
