20002294989Citadel Press 2000. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. First edition. Jacket reverse lightly foxed remainder mark on page base. 2000 Hard Cover. xv 5 538 pp. "In 1270 a scholarly Jewish merchant called Jacob d'Ancona set out on a voyage from Italy. A year later he arrived in China at the coastal metropolis of Zaitun the "City of Light" now known as Quanzhou four years before Marco Polo arrived at Xanadu in 1275. Nothing was known of this epochal journey until 1990 when David Selbourne was shown d'Ancona's account of his travels a remarkable manuscript that had been hidden from public view for more than seven centuries. Eventually translated and edited by Selbourne and published in Great Britain in October 1997 as The City of Light the account was praised as providing an unparalleled insight into life in the medieval world. Controversy followed. Selbourne had pledged to the manuscript's owner that he would not reveal its whereabouts and that raised doubts about its authenticity. As a result of U.S. sinologists' criticism of plans for American publication the first edition was canceled. Now a year later Birch Lane Press happily publishes the controversial work. Criticisms of the textual evidence of d'Ancona's account have been answered by Selbourne. Most notably other academics--particularly and significantly in China--have come to the support of d'Ancona's account. The work is to be published in a Chinese translation. Vivid and insightful this account has great historical significance. It not only describes the adventures of a medieval trader but also comments on Chinese society and manners through the eyes of a European man of learning. The City of Light brings spectacularly to life d'Ancona's encounter with one of the world's great civilizations. Citadel Press hardcover books
