Download or read book Writing East written by Iain Macleod Higgins and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2010-11-24 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No work revealed more of the mysterious East to statesmen, explorers, readers, and writers of the late Middle Ages than the Book of John Mandeville. One of the most widely circulated documents of its day, it first appeared in French between 1356 and 1371 and was soon translated into nine other European languages. Ostensibly the account of one English knight's journeys through Africa and Asia, it is, rather, a compilation of travel writings first shaped by an unknown redactor. Writing East is a study of how Mandeville's Travels came to appear in its various versions, explaining how it went through a series of transformations as it reached new audiences in order to serve as both a response to previous writings about the East and an important voice in the medieval conversation about the nature and limits of the world. Higgins offers a palimpsestic reading of this "multi-text" that demonstrates not only how the original French author overwrote his precursors but also how subsequent translators molded the material to serve their own ideological agendas.
Download or read book The Defective Version of Mandeville s Travels written by Michael C. Seymour and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An edition of the earliest and most important English translation of the French text of Mandeville's Travels, the widely influential collection of travellers' tales. This volume also contains a full commentary with new information about the sources. Its name derives from the loss of the second quire in the Insular manuscript, or its antecedent, from which it was translated. Despite this loss, the Defective Version established itself as the dominant form of the work in England, and was perpetuated in the printed editions of the text until 1725.

Download or read book Mandeville s Travels Vol 1 written by Jean D'Outremeuse and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-26 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mandeville's Travels, Vol. 1: Translated From the French; Edited From Ms. Cotton Titus C. XVI, in the British Museum; d104 The introduction and notes, in which the reasons for re - editing the Cotton ms. Of Mandeville with hardly any emendations will be fully stated, are reserved for a later volume. For the present, it may be stated that the editor's choice lay between two principal manuscripts, the Cotton ms., first edited in 1725 and since then frequently reprinted from that edition, and the Egerton ms, edited with full commentary for the Roxburghe Club by Sir George Warner Imperfect as the Cotton version is, it adheres very closely to the French original, as represented in Sir George Warner's anglo-french text, and in two Brussels mss. Copied by the present editor. Its mistakes are to a great extent due to the anonymous English translator. They exemplify the way in which the growth of literary Middle English was influenced by French phras'eology, and they are traceable to three main causes (l) the original French book, and a fortiori its Englisher, is quite inaccurate in its geography (2) the Englisher followed a faulty manuscript (3) he was very imperfectly acquainted with its language, and very slipshod in his grammar. On the whole, his method was that of a schoolboy, who follows his author literally, without much attention to sense or idiom.
