John

    Jehan de Mandeville, ook bekend als Sir John Mandeville, is de auteur van een opmerkelijk boek met vermeende reizen, geschreven in het Anglo-Normandisch en gepubliceerd tussen 1357 en 1371. Ondanks de zeer onbetrouwbare en vaak fantastische aard van de beschreven reizen, verwierf het werk een buitengewone populariteit door vertalingen in vele talen. Het diende als naslagwerk en beïnvloedde aanzienlijk figuren als Christoffel Columbus. Mandevilles unieke mengeling van verbeelding en vermeende feiten boeide lezers eeuwenlang.

    • Die wenigsten kennen ihn heute noch, aber im Mittelalter war der Bericht des Engländers John Mandeville eines der bekanntesten und beliebtesten Reisebücher. Der vorliegende Reisebericht kursierte zunächst in zahlreichen Handschriften und avancierte nach Erfindung des Buchdrucks zu einem der ersten Bestseller. Mandevilles Journal, ursprünglich in französischer Sprache geschrieben, ist eine einzigartige Darstellung des Weltwissens seiner Zeit, eine Summe der Reiseberichte des 13. und 14. Jahrhunderts und damit geradezu eine Enzyklopädie des Reisens im Mittelalter. Im 19. Jahrhundert kamen Zweifel am Wahrheitsgehalt der Schilderungen auf. Hatte Mandeville wirklich seine Reisen selbst unternommen? Hatte er die wunderlichen Länder und Städte wirklich gesehen, von denen er so anschaulich berichtet? War er tatsächlich im Heiligen Land gewesen und bis nach China, an den Hof des Großkhans der Mongolen, gereist? Bei all den offenen Fragen bleibt heute die Erkenntnis: Mandevilles Bericht ist ein spannendes Zeugnis mittelalterlichen Lebens und Denkens, einer Epoche, als die Welt noch weitgehend unentdeckt war.
