The Travels of John Mandeville and the Translation of the New Testament (1901)

John Mandeville, Sir,John Wycliffe

The Travels of John Mandeville and the Translation of the New Testament is a book published in 1901. It is a compilation of two works by John Mandeville, a medieval English author and traveler. The first part of the book is Mandeville's famous travelogue, The Travels of John Mandeville, which was written in the 14th century and is one of the most widely read travel books of the Middle Ages. It recounts Mandeville's supposed travels to the Holy Land, Egypt, India, and other exotic places, and includes descriptions of the people, customs, and natural wonders he encountered along the way.The second part of the book is a translation of the New Testament by Mandeville. This translation is notable for being one of the earliest known English translations of the Bible, and it is written in a style that is similar to the Middle English used in The Travels of John Mandeville. The translation is based on the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible used by the Catholic Church at the time.Overall, The Travels of John Mandeville and the Translation of the New Testament is a fascinating glimpse into the world of medieval travel and religious literature. It is a valuable resource for scholars of medieval history, literature, and religion, as well as anyone interested in the history of travel writing and the English language.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
