With erudition and wit, this title explores the medieval conviction that paradise existed in a precise although unreachable earthly location. Delving into the writings of dozens of medieval and Renaissance thinkers, from Augustine to Dante, it presents a luminous study of the meaning of Original Sin and the human yearning for paradise.
