| Description | The introductory study to the published translation of Odorico of Pordenone's travelogue places his work in the overall historical context of medieval European journeys to Asia, which took place between the mid-13th and mid-14th centuries. The present version of the travelogue responds to the changed conditions of the time, in which the originally essential theme of Christian missions has become obsolete and is replaced by other material. |
