I Ii Leave Mandeville Travels 14th


EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative 14th-century image, the intrepid English traveler John Mandeville takes his leave from King Edward III before embarking on his epic journey to the Far East. Mandeville, dressed in the robes of a pilgrim, is depicted with a determined expression and a satchel slung over his shoulder, ready to embark on his travels to India and the Holy Land. John Mandeville (circa 1275-1377) was an English writer and traveler whose accounts of his journeys to the Middle East, India, and Southeast Asia remain an important source of information about the world beyond Europe during the late Middle Ages. Although his travels are now known to be largely fictional, they provided Europeans with their first detailed descriptions of many exotic lands and peoples. The image shows Mandeville in the presence of King Edward III (1312-1377), who ruled England from 1327 to 1377. Edward was a significant figure in English history, leading the country through the Hundred Years War against France and expanding the English empire. Mandeville's audience with the king would have given his travels added credibility, as the king's approval lent authority to his accounts. The image is a testament to the fascination that the Far East held for Europeans during the Middle Ages, and the desire to explore and learn about the world beyond their borders. Mandeville's travels, as recorded in his book "The Travels of Sir John Mandeville," provided Europeans with a tantalizing glimpse of the wonders and mysteries of the East, and his legacy continues to inspire travelers and adventurers to this day. This photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable historical resource, offering a glimpse into the world of medieval travel and exploration. It is a reminder of the rich cultural exchanges that took place during the Middle Ages and the enduring allure of the unknown.
