Don't get me wrong, this book is fascinating! However, I've already found numerous issues with this book, the first & most problematic being the map on the cover - it's a map of Bohemia from 1518, but South is at the top of the map, & East is on the left. Maps of this time period were already oriented North, so why wasn't this one?

There are several problematic things going on in this book. First, the problem common among scholars in a particular field - use of jargon. Second, it could benefit from a few additional translators, as occasionally we come across sentences that don't constitute a complete thought. Third, the author of Section 1 uses entirely too many lists within sentences, & also uses several of her own books as reference points.
