[We know 3 editions before 1548 of this most amusing book of travels and legends, 1. Wynkyn de Worde's in 1499 ; 2. at his sign of the Sun in 1503; 3. Pynson's, without date. 1. "Here Begynneth a lytell treatyse or booke named Johan Mandeuyll Knyght born in Englonde in the towne of saynt Albone and speketh of the wayes of the holy londe toward Jherrusalem, and of marunyles of Ynde and of other dyuerse cou«trees." Colophon. "Here endeth the boke of Johan Mau7?devyll knyght, of the wayes towarde ...Jerusalem, & of the meruayles of Ynde & of other dyuerse couwtrees. Emprynted at Westmynster by Wynken de Worde. Anno Aomini M. CCCC. LXXXXIX." 8vo. An edition was publisht in 1725 from the Cotton MS, Titus C. xvi, — incorrectly, I expect — and was reprinted in 1839 and 1869, with an Introduction by Mr. Halliwell, and some very quaint woodcuts from the MS and the old printed editions. Sir John Mandeville left England for Jerusalem etc. in 1322, and wrote his Travels in 1356, thirty-four years after he started.
