"Keagan Brewer has done both scholars and students a great service in bringing a major corpus of medieval and early modern Prester John literature into English translation for the first time." - John Eldevik, Hamilton College "This welcome addition to the Crusade Texts in Translation series will prove useful, informative, and interesting to a wide readership: historians, and also folklorists, literary critics, historical geographers, and cultural historians. This book brings together for the first time key texts in the legend of Prester John: edited texts from the twelfth to fourteenth centuries with English translations, and translated texts from the fifteenth to eighteenth centuries. These texts provide a fascinating window on changing perceptions, beliefs, and discoveries about lands east of Europe, while documenting the legend of a great Christian kingdom in Asia, which first captured European imagination in the twelfth century as European Christian powers confronted Islamic powers." - Helen Phillips, Cardiff University, Wales
