A hopeless muddle. The book perpetuates the old myth that medieval people believed the earth was flat, and that Columbus sailed to show otherwise. It states that medieval people believed God moved the celestial spheres "and so put an end to questions"; this is both false and slanted. It imagines that witch hunts were characteristic of medieval society (whereas in fact they were an early modern phenomenon).

The illustrations are nice, but not really up to Anno's standards. ( )
