Fiction
This is an Elizabethan translation of a 14th century travelogue, allegedly composed by one Sir John Mandeville. According to the book, John de Mandeville crossed the sea in 1322 and travelled through Turkey, Tartary, Persia, Syria, Arabia, Egypt, Libya, Ethiopia, Chaldea, Amazonia, India and many countries about India. In his day, he was considered the foremost travel authority, but much of the imaginative accounts were debunked during the later ages of travel. While much of the information within the book is of a fantastic and unreliable nature, it has been a source of inspiration for poets and mined by scholars throughout the centuries.
