Présentation de l'éditeur
Betheleem is a litylle Cytee .. .. And toward the Est ende of the Cytee is a fulle fair Chirche and a gracyouse .. .. And betwene the Cytee and the Chirche is the Felde Floridus ;that is to seyne, the Feld florished. For als moche as a fayre Mayden was blamed with wrong, and sclaundred .... for whiche cause sche was denied to the Dethe, and to be brent in that place, to the whiche she was ladd. And as the Fyre began to brenne aboute hire, sche made hire Preyeres to oure Lord, that als wissely as sche was not gylty of that Synne, that He wold helpe hire, and make it to be knowen to alle men of his mercyfulle grace. And whan sche hadde thus seyd, sche entered into the Fuyer: and anon was the Fuer quenched and oute :and the Brondes that weren brennynge, becomen rede Roseres; and the Brondes that weren not kyndled, becomen white Roseres, fulle of Roses. And theise weren the first Roseres and Roses both white and rede, that evere ony Man saughe. And thus was this Mayden saved be the grace of God. And therefore is that Feld clept the Feld of God florysscht; for it was fulle of Roses. The Voiage and Travaile of Sir John Maundeville, Kt. Which treateth of the way to Hierusalem ;and of Marvayles of I nde. A.D. 1327-1360.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
