A fictive traveler's guide to the East, both Near and Far, The Book of John Mandeville was a late--medieval best seller, more popular in its day than Marco Polo's Travels. In addition to a fresh, vibrant translation--the first from the Middle French original since the fifteenth century―this edition of The Book of John Mandeville offers a succinct, broad-ranging Introduction to the work that touches on the question of authorship, the sources on which the text drew, and the transformation and reception of the work down to the present day.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. The work now known as Mandeville's Travelsa fictive traveler's guide to the East, both Near and Farwas a late-Medieval bestseller, more popular in its day than Marco Polo's Travels. The original French version, a creative synthesis of some three dozen other works including genuine travel books, was quickly translated into eleven languages, and over 300 manuscripts have survived. In the process of being so often copied and translated, the "original" text was often altered, sometimes drastically, and the changes introduced by the copyists and translators reveal a wealth of information about the Medieval European mind and its views of the "other." Book of John Mandeville Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780872209367
