Secret Medieval Spies Raul Rohrbaugh

The majority of medieval spies were priests and monks - able to read and write in a number of languages, and spread in a network throughout Europe - they were well placed to function as an intelligence network.
"Mstovari" - an old Georgian word for a "spy" or a "reconnaissance man", infrequently used even in modern Georgian. Centuries passed, before the fascinating tales of mstovari were finally uncovered, revealing to the world warriors dedicated to covert operations, subterfuge, and clairvoyance. This is a book telling their story.
