Book Description
I (the author of this book) have edited, and illustrated "The Voiage and Travayle of Syr John Maundeville, Knight," for two reasons. First, that a popular edition has not been published for many years—so much so, that many otherwise well educated people hardly know his name; or, if they do, have never read his book of Marvels. Secondly, a good edition has not yet been published. Putting aside the chap-books of the eighteenth century, which could only cram a small portion of his book into their little duodecimos, the only English versions of this century are the reprint by Halliwell, in 1839, of the reprint in 1725-1727, of the early fifteenth century MS. (Cotton, Tit. c. 16), which he again reprinted in 1866,1 the edition in "Bohn's Classical Library" ("Early Travels in Palestine"), 1848; and "The English Explorers," which forms part of Nimmo's "National Library," 1875. There was also a small edition published in Cassell's "National Library" in 1886 in modern English. Halliwell's reprint of the Cotton MS. is open to objection, because the language of the MS. is specially rude, and can only be understood by professed antiquaries, no footnotes explanatory of the text being given, only a glossary at the end of the book. Also, Mr. Halliwell has taken his illustrations from various sources, not confining himself to English woodcuts—the Cotton MS. having no illustrations. If, however, the language in Halliwell's edition is too archaic, Bohn and Nimmo err in the opposite direction. Without illustrations, and clothed in modern English, they are bald in the extreme; whilst the editors of both have not been over careful to closely copy the text. Seeing these difficulties, and dearly loving Sir John, in spite of his romancing, I cast about for a book which should fulfil the conditions of an edition I should like for my own reading; which should have the spice of the old language, without being unreadable, like the Cotton MS.

Book Description
The Travels of Sir John Mandeville is a captivating medieval travelog attributed to the English knight and explorer, Sir John Mandeville. Written in the 14th century, the book recounts the supposed journeys and adventures of Mandeville across Europe, Asia, and Africa. The narrative takes readers on a fascinating expedition through exotic lands, describing encounters with mythical creatures, distant civilizations, and extraordinary marvels. Mandeville's accounts include vivid descriptions of the landscapes, customs, and religious practices of the places he claimed to have visited. This book continues to captivate readers with its blend of fact and fantasy, transporting them to a bygone era of exploration and wonder. Whether viewed as a work of imaginative fiction or a medieval travel account, the book remains a valuable testament to the curiosity and thirst for adventure that characterized the Age of Exploration.
