Boston & London:: Shambhala,, 1996,. Hardcover first edition -. Fine in fine dust jacket (appears unread.). First printing. Part history, part fiction, a "fantasy of a Venetian cartographer speculates on geography as a construct of the human consciousness, with tales of explorations into an imaginary world. Through the purported journals of Fra Mauro, a cloistered monk who actually lived during the 15th century and who, in Cowan's novel, has resolved to create a map of the world without ever leaving his cell, we learn of a race of men with one foot the size of an umbrella, about the Vatican emissary to the Mongol court,and about the devil worshippers of the land called Mosul. Over the course of the book, Fra Mauro creates a world of his own, composed less of geographical knowledge than of meditation, folklore, and books." Illustrated maps on endpapers and chapter headings are from actual preserved works of Mauro. xvii, 151 pp.
