| Authorship Notes |
An academic discourse and praise of travel with few original or distinguishing features. Stagl, Apodemiken, notes that Burckhaus argues that travel leads to 'humanitas', while to stay at home leads to 'arrogantia'. Burckhaus also enumerates the various advantages travel brings for 'prudentia, and the reports of Venetian ambassadors, and in particular 'Contarini' (presumably Gasparo Contarini, 1483-1542), are held up as examples of good practice in the observation of foreign countries and customs.
