Expect a mix of direct observations, quoted phrases, and what readers at the time found noteworthy about customs and commerce.
- Concise portraits of dozens of kingdoms and regions, from Europe to the Mediterranean and beyond
- Notes on money and speech that reveal early modern trade and communication
