> Remarks | Mandeville's Travels is an anonymous translation of a French work written by Jehan de Bourgogne in 1356/7 under the penname of Sir John Mandeville. The work is based on authentic travelogues, Guiollaume de Boldensele (1336) and Odoric de Pordenone (1330), but is essentially a work of fiction. The translator writes very good English, but often misunderstands the French text. For an example of the French text, see Mossé, pp. 277-279 (from Ms. Harley 4383).
