For things passed out of long time from a man's mind or from his sight, turn soon into forgetting; because that mind of man ne may not be comprehended ne withholden, for the frailty of mankind. TO TEACH YOU THE WAY OUT OF ENGLAND TO CONSTANTINOPLE IN the name of God, Glorious and Almighty! He that will pass over the sea and come to land [to go to the city of Jerusalem, he may wend many ways, both on sea and land], after the country that he cometh from; [for] many of them come to one end. But troweth not that I will tell you all the towns, and cities and castles that men shall go by; for then should I make too long a tale; but all only some countries and most principal steads that men shall go through to go the right way. First, if a man come from the west side of the world, as England, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, or Norway, he may, if that he will, go through Almayne and through the kingdom of Hungary, that marcheth to the land of Polayne, and to the land of Panno

    Sir John Mandeville’s book The Travels inspired Columbus to go after theriches of China and India, by trying to sail across the Atlantic.

    Extractions: The importance of Mandeville’s book to medieval explorers, lay in the 175 lines in which Sir John explains why he believes it is possible to circumnavigate the world. Sir John’s Travels dismiss centuries of the Church’s teachings in a a characteristically down-to-earth anecdote and ‘proves’ the world is circumnavigable by telling a strange story of a man who inadvertently travelled around it: [40] I have often thought of a story I heard, when I was young of a worthy man of our country who went once upon a time to see the world. he passed India and many isles beyond India, where there are more than five thousand isles, and travelled so far by land and sea, girdling the globe, that he found an isle where he heard his own language being spoken.. He marvelled greatly, for he did not understand how this could be. But I conjecture that he had travelled so far over land and sea, circumnavigating the earth, that he had come to his own borders; if he had gone a bit further, he would have come to his own district. It is difficult to know where Mandeville might have formulated his theory of circumnavigation but there is every likelihood that the medieval records indicating a John of sancto Albano studying at the University of Paris do indeed refer to him. If so, he would have certainly come into contact with John Buridan, who was central to these debates about the globe and had just put the finishing touches to this important treatise on whether the whole world was habitable.

    http://www.einsteinconspiracy.co.uk/articlefour/c27.htm
    
    Extractions: Giles Milton says : ‘someone, for some unknown but possibly sinister reason, had at one time had a vested interest in concealing Sir John’s true identity.’ There is an epitaph to Sir John’s epitaph in St. Albans Anney, and at one time there had also been an epitaph in a church in Liege, Belgium, with Liege claiming Sir John as a citizen of their town. [32] The chronicle has it that Sir John was living in Liege under the assumed name of John of Burgundy, with a string of titles. A story of Sir John that has been the basis of Sir John Mandeville from 16th century to the present day. Secret came out from John on his deathbed confession to Jean d’Outremeuse, who was the sole witness. Outremeuse was probably lying. d’Outremeuse was a romancer who wrote fanciful tales using imaginary sources. On the rare occasions he had reliable sources he used them. When he didn’t he made them up.[ 33] The real life of Mandeville seems hidden by forgeries and fabrications. Giles Milton describes it as if Mandeville’s detractors had deliberately scattered the path to find Mandeville’s real life story with misleading clues in the hope that researchers would lose their way. [ 34] Now does that not sound interesting? There are similarities to this case and the problems that some UFO researchers have. A case that might be genuine, acts like a magnet for hoaxes, and these hoaxes then detract attention away from the topic, as it then enters the next stage of being ridiculed.

66. Medieval Sourcebook: Mandeville On Prester John

    Extractions: Mandeville on Prester John This text, attributed to "Sir John Mandeville" was written circa 1366, and presents a series of picturesque fables about the east. These stories fascinated Western Europeans, as did the more reliable [slightly!] stories of Marco Polo. One way of understanding Western interest in the rest of the world is to see the process by which interest became research, research became knowledge, and knowledge became power. By the time Europe was able to expand in the 16th century and later, it was far better equipped to understand, and if necessary undermine, other cultures than other cultures were to understand Europe. Chapter XXX Of the Royal Estate of Prester John. And of a rich man that made a marvellous castle and cleped it Paradise and of his subtlety. This emperor, Prester John, holds full great land, and hath many full noble cities and good towns in his realm and many great diverse isles and large. For all the country of Ind is devised in isles for the great floods that come from Paradise, that depart all the land in many parts. And also in the sea he hath full many isles. And the best city in the Isle of Pentexoire is Nyse, that is a full royal city and a noble, and full rich. This Prester John hath under him many kings and many isles and many diverse folk of diverse conditions. And this land is full good and rich, but not so rich as is the land of the great Chan. For the merchants come not thither so commonly for to buy merchandises, as they do in the land of the great Chan, for it is too far to travel to. And on that other part, in the Isle of Cathay, men find all manner thing that is need to mancloths of gold, of silk, of spicery and all manner avoirdupois. And therefore, albeit that men have greater cheap in the Isle of Prester John, natheles, men dread the long way and the great perils m the sea in those parts.

    http://www.bookfinder.us/review1/0812233433.html
    
    Extractions: Higgins (Swift's Politics, Cambridge Univ., 1993) has chosen a significant medieval work and studied its variant texts with the idea of understanding medieval society's changing views on the nature and limits of the world. The Mandeville book purports to be the memoirs of an English knight, Sir John Mandeville, who allegedly traveled throughout Asia. It first appeared in French sometime between 1356 and 1371 and would be translated into nine other languages; in the 19th century, however, Mandeville's text was declared a fraud. It now appears that the text is a compilation of the writings of medieval travelers who had visited the East. Higgins demonstrates that medieval texts did not produce variants by accident. This book will be of interest to readers with a strong interest in medieval literature and history. Recommended for academic libraries with significant holdings in medieval studies.Robert Andrews, Duluth P.L., Minn.

    Extractions: Though once one of the most famous men and influential authors in all of Christendom, Sir John Mandeville's reputation has been in decline for roughly five hundred years. His book of Travels , published in the mid 1300s, detailed his 34 year journey (1322-56) through the Near East, Middle East and Far East, successively. For Europeans who knew little or nothing of these regions, his tales of fantastic animals and of the legendary Prestor John seemed plausible enough and the book was assumed to be true in its entirety. In fact, Shakespeare and Milton were influenced by his work and Columbus is purported to have used it as the basis for his decision to try sailing to China by heading West. But then the great European explorers began to actually arrive in the places that Mandeville claimed to have visited and, particularly when they reached the Far East, many of his more colorful observations proved to be quite fanciful. Subsequent investigations by literary critics revealed that great swaths of the book had been lifted from the writings of others, a practice that was not so uncommon in that earlier day, but which necessarily raised further doubts about his veracity. The backlash against Mandeville ultimately grew to the point where the very notion that he ever traveled came to be doubted and even his existence was questioned by some.

    Extractions: Dictionaries: General Computing Medical Legal Encyclopedia Word: Word Starts with Ends with Definition Jehan de Mandeville ("Sir John Mandeville"), the name claimed by the compiler of a singular book of travels, written in French, and published between 1357 and 1371. By aid of translations into many other languages it acquired extraordinary popularity, while a few interpolated words in a particular edition of an English version gained for Mandeville in modern times the spurious credit of being "the father of English prose." In his preface the compiler calls himself a knight, and states that he was born and bred in England, of the town of St Albans For other places named St Albans see St Albans (disambiguation) St Albans (thus spelt, no apostrophe or dot) is the main urban area of the City and District of St Albans in southern Hertfordshire, England, just north of London. Markets are held in the main street on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The football team is St Albans City FC: their 'stadium' is Clarence Park and they play in the Ryman's Premier League. There is also the Old Albanian Rugby Club which has a large facility known as the Old Albanian sports complex or the Woolam Playing Fields.
