Traveling to the 'Tartars' - Three Missions to the Mongols, 1245–1248

“This outstanding work provides not only new and updated translations of six important accounts of the Franciscan and Dominican missions to different Mongol courts in the mid-thirteenth century, but also fully explains the fascinating historical context in which they were written and transmitted. In short, this is a remarkable resource for both scholars and students to explore and understand this pivotal moment of East-West exchange.” —Johan Elverskog, Southern Methodist University
