Italy / China: 'The Departure of Odoric' (de Pordenone,1286-1331), Franciscan friar, missionary, explorer and early visitor to China and the east (1318-1330), Romance and Travels< / i>,14th Century
Caption:
Odoric of Pordenone, OFM (12861331), also known as Odorico Mattiussi or Mattiuzzi, was an Italian late-medieval Franciscan friar and missionary explorer. His account of his visit to China was an important source for the account of John Mandeville.
. Many of the incredible reports in Mandeville have proven to be garbled versions of Odoric's eyewitness descriptions.
. Seventy-three manuscripts of Odoric's narrative are known to exist in Latin, French and Italian: of these the most important, of about 1350, is in the Bibliotheque Nationale de France, Paris.
