The publications of the Hakluyt Society (founded in 1846) made
available edited (and sometimes translated) early accounts of
exploration. The first series, which ran from 1847 to 1899,
consists of 100 books containing published or previously
unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir
Francis Drake, and covering voyages to the New World, to China and
Japan, to Russia and to Africa and India. Ruy Gonzalez de Clavijo
was sent as an ambassador from Henry III of Castile to the court of
Timour (Tamerlane) at Samarkand in 1403. This 1859 book contains a
translated account of his journey, from Cadiz to Constantinople,
across the Black Sea and then overland from Trebizond to Samarkand.
It describes in detail court life in Timour's capital, and tells of
the return of the embassy to Spain in 1406. It also provides an
introductory note on the text and a brief life of Timour.
