For a number of years now Professor Graham has been providing English-speaking students of Muscovite history with graceful and accurate translations of Westerners' accounts of Muscovy, originally published in Latin. The present volume, his most ambitious undertaking to date, brings us the 'Moscovia' of Antonio Possevino, S.J., in most attractive and usable form, in the company of a helpful introduction, explanatory notes, and a fragment translated from the Muscovite transcript of Possevino's representations at the court of Ivan IV.
