John Mandeville Biography

    January 1, 1940

    Jehan de Mandeville, also known as Sir John Mandeville, is the name associated with a singular book of supposed travels, originally composed in Anglo-Norman French. Despite the often fantastical and unreliable nature of the journeys it details, this work achieved extraordinary popularity through translations into numerous languages. It served as a significant reference, notably influencing figures like Christopher Columbus, who drew inspiration from it alongside the earlier works of Marco Polo.
