About this listen

 Join us on a fascinating journey through the pages of an Elizabethan translation of a 14th-century travelogue, attributed to the enigmatic Sir John Mandeville. Allegedly embarking on his adventures in 1322, Mandeville traversed a multitude of lands including Turkey, Tartary, Persia, Syria, Arabia, Egypt, Libya, Ethiopia, Chaldea, Amazonia, and India. Once hailed as the foremost travel authority of his time, his imaginative narratives have since been scrutinized and often dismissed as fanciful. Despite its dubious accuracy, this work has inspired countless poets and intrigued scholars for centuries. Experience the allure of exploration through the insights of Daniel Davison and TriciaG, with proof-listeners kathrinee and TriciaG enhancing the experience.
