Description: "The aim of this book is to collate and present the major sources for the study of the legend of Prester John. For the medieval texts, these are supplied in both the original language (usually Latin) and English translation. Because they are less material to the usual discussions of Prester John, the modern texts are presented only in English."--Foreword, p. [vii].
