Human Circus: Journeys in the Medieval World


Sir John Mandeville 2: In and Around Jerusalem

January 25, 2020

It's part two of the Mandeville series, and our journey reaches the Jerusalem of a 14th-century pilgrim. We'll spend some time there, getting to know the place and its surroundings, and its treatment in the Mandeville text.
