"William of Rubruck was a Franciscan friar who wrote the first
great travel book about Asia. In 1253--55 he made the journey from
the Holy Land to the court of the Great Khan Moengke at Qaraqorum
in Mongolia and back again. . . . William was interested in all
that he saw. . . . His account is particularly vivid because he
related to the individual people he met. This is the first
annotated translation to be made from the definitive Latin text
published by A. Van den Wyngaert in 1929, and Peter Jackson and
David Morgan are to be congratulated on producing an exemplary
edition. The historical introduction is comprehensive and succinct,
the translation excellent and idiomatic, while the notes clarify
the text and explain why important variant readings have been
chosen." --Bernard Hamilton, Times Literary Supplement
