The father of history, Herodotus, was also a traveller, whose <em>Histories<\/em> can easily be considered a travel account. The first volume of this book is dedicated to the period starting from Herodotus himself until the end of the Middle Ages with focus on the Balkans, the Byzantine Empire, the Islamic world, and South-Eastern Europe. Research on travellers who connected civilizations; manuscript and literary traditions; musicology; geography; flora and fauna as reflected in travel accounts, are all part of this thought-provoking collected volume dedicated to detailed aspects of voyages and travel accounts up to the end of the sixteenth century.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second volume of this book is dedicated to the period between Early Modernity and today, including modern receptions of travelling in historiography and literature. South-Eastern Europe and Serbia; the Chinese, Ottoman, and British perception of travelling; pilgrimages to the Holy land and other sacred sites; Serbian, Arabic, and English literature; legal history and travelling, and other engaging topics are all part of the second volume dedicated to aspects of voyages and travel accounts up to the contemporary era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;This book is fully available in open access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>TABLE OF CONTENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Introduction, Boris Stojovski\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CHAPTER 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;Svetozar Bo\u0161kov,&nbsp;<em>Herodotus as a Travel Writer&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/trivent-publishing.eu\/img\/cms\/2-%20Svetozar%20Bo%C5%A1kov.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CHAPTER 2&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;Konstantinos Karatolios,&nbsp;<em>Travelling as a Hostage: The Testimony of Kaminiates\u2019s Capture of Thessalonike&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CHAPTER 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;Yanko Hristov, <em>Travelling and Travellers: Persons, Reasons, and Destinations According to A Tale of the Iron Cross&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CHAPTER 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;Paulo Catarino Lopes, <em>Medieval Travels and the Ensuing Texts as Mirrors of a Society, a Culture, and a World View&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CHAPTER 5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;Boris Stojkovski, <em>Southern Hungary and Serbia in al-Idrisi\u2019s Geography&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CHAPTER 6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;Neboj\u0161a Kartalija, <em>The Perception of the Balkans in Western Travel Literature from the Eleventh to the Fourteenth Century&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CHAPTER 7<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;Djura Hardi, <em>From Ma\u010dva to Tarnovo: On the Roads of the Balkan Politics of Prince Rostislav Mikhailovich&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CHAPTER 8<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;Marie-Emmanuelle Torres, <em>Echoes of Constantinople: Rewriting the Byzantine Soundscape in Travel Accounts&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CHAPTER 9<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;Radivoj Radi\u0107, <em>The Temptations of the Night Journey: An Image from the Voyage of Nicephorus Gregoras through Serbia&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CHAPTER 10<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0Sandra Du\u010di\u0107 Collette, <em>Dante (1265-1321): The Exile and Birth of a Pilgrim\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CHAPTER 11<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;Shiva Mihan, <em>The Journey of The Gift of the Noble&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CHAPTER 12<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;Stanoje Bojanin, <em>The South Slavic Parish in Light of Stephen Gerlach\u2019s Travel Diary&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/trivent-publishing.eu\/img\/cms\/13-%20Stanoje%20Bojanin.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CHAPTER 13<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0Aleksandar Krsti\u0107, <em>Vegetation in the Territories of Serbia and Southern Hungary in Travel Accounts (Fifteenth\u2013Seventeenth Centuries)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Editor<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BORIS STOJKOVSKI<\/strong>, PhD, is associate professor of medieval history at the University of Novi Sad, Serbia.
