Works issued by the Hakluyt Society Second Series Numbers 101 and 102. First edition<br /><br />Sir John Mandeville flourished 14th century purported author of a collection of travelers' tales from around the world The Voyage and Travels of Sir John Mandeville Knight generally known as <i>The Travels of Sir John Mandeville</i>. The tales are selections from the narratives of genuine travelers embellished with Mandeville's additions and described as his own adventures. The actual author of the tales remains as uncertain as the existence of the English knight Sir John Mandeville himself. The book originated in French about 1356–57 and was soon translated into many languages an English version appearing about 1375. The narrator Mandeville identifies himself as a knight of St. Albans. Incapacitated by arthritic gout he has undertaken to stave off boredom by writing of his travels which began on Michaelmas Day September 29 1322 and from which he returned in 1356. The 14th-century chronicler Jean d'Outremeuse of Liège claimed that he knew the book's true author a local physician named Jean de Bourgogne and scholars afterward speculated that d'Outremeuse himself wrote the book. Modern historical research debunked the d'Outremeuse tradition but has yielded few more positive conclusions and the actual author of the <i>Travels</i> remains unknown. It is not certain whether the book's true author ever traveled at all since he selected his materials almost entirely from the encyclopaedias and travel books available to him including those by William of Boldensele and Friar Odoric of Pordenone. The author enriched these itineraries with accounts of the history customs religions and legends of the regions visited culled from his remarkably wide reading transforming and enlivening the originals by his literary skill and genuine creative imagination. The lands that he describes include the realm of Prester John the land of darkness and the abode of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel all legendary. Although in his time "Mandeville" was famous as the greatest traveler of the Middle Ages in the ensuing age of exploration he lost his reputation as a truthful narrator. His book notwithstanding has always been popular and remains extremely readable.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br />Corners bumped previous owner's name to front end paper volume 1 some occasional under lining and notes to front end paper in pencil else a very good set.

From Wikipedia: "Jehan de Mandeville" translated as "Sir John Mandeville" is the name claimed by the compiler of The Travels of Sir John Mandeville a book account of his supposed travels which probably first appeared in Anglo-Norman French and first circulated between 1357 and 1371. By aid of translations into many other languages it acquired extraordinary popularity. Despite the extremely unreliable and often fantastical nature of the travels it describes it was used as a work of reference Christopher Columbus for example was heavily influenced by both this work and Marco Polo's earlier Il Milione. Also from Wikipedia: "Alexander William Kinglake 5 August 1809 2 January 1891 was an English travel writer and historian. He was born near Taunton Somerset and educated at Eton College and Trinity College Cambridge. 1 He was called to the Bar in 1837 and built up a thriving legal practice which in 1856 he abandoned in order to devote himself to literature and public life. His first literary venture had been Eothen; or Traces of travel brought home from the East London: J. Ollivier 1844 a very popular work of Eastern travel apparently first published anonymously in which he described a journey he made about ten years earlier in Syria Palestine and Egypt together with his Eton contemporary Lord Pollington. Elliot Warburton said it evoked "the East itself in vital actual reality" and it was instantly successful. However his magnum opus was his Invasion of the Crimea in 8 volumes published from 1863 to 1887 by Blackwood Edinburgh one of the most effective works of its class. It has been accused of being too favourable to Lord Raglan and unduly hostile to Napoleon III for whom the author had an extreme aversion. The town of Kinglake in Victoria Australia and the adjacent national park are named after him. A Whig Kinglake was elected at the 1857 general election as one of the two Members of Parliament MP for Bridgwater having unsuccessfully contested the seat in 1852. He was returned at next two general elections but the result of the 1868 general election in Bridgwater was voided on petition on 26 February 1869. No by-election was held and after a Royal Commission found that there had extensive corruption the town was disenfranchised in 1870." D. Appleton and Company hardcover
