A Mission to the Medieval Middle East

The Travels of Bertrandon de la Broquière to Jerusalem and Constantinople

Bertrandon de la Broquière, Trans. Thomas Johnes

Introduced by Morris Rossabi, this is Bertrandon de la Broquière’s account of his travels in 1432–33. At that time, the Holy Lands were under Ottoman control but some Europeans, among them Philip, Duke of Burgundy, entertained the possibility of reclaiming them for Christendom. Bertrandon was sent by Philip to gather information about the Ottomans’ military strength. A resourceful and observant traveller, his report gives an invaluable account of the Islamic world in the early 15th century. Facsimile reprint of the 1807 edition. No jacket.
