The so-called travels of Sir John Mandeville to the Holy Land,
India and Cathay were immensely popular throughout Europe during
the late medieval period and were translated into nine different
languages. This is a detailed study of the audiences of
Mandeville's Book, with particular emphasis on its reception in
England and France from the time the Book appeared in the 1350s to
the mid-16th century. The multiple ways in which audiences
interpreted the work, depending on wider social and cultural
contexts, are analysed thematically, under the headings of
pilgrimage, geography, romance, history and theology, and
contrasted with what can be learned of the author's intentions. The
book is well-illustrated with images taken from both manuscript and
early printed editions: in her study of these and the marginal
notes, Rosemary Tzanaki shows their importance for seeing what
readers found of interest. Her analysis makes a significant
contribution to our understanding of how people in medieval Europe
perceived the outside world.
