摘要
The Travels of Sir John Mandeville presents the ficticious construction of the Orient through a travels tale which is primarily shaped as a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Over and above the critical controversy about the existence of Sir John Mandeville, this book depicts in a very accurate way several key topics in the literature of the Middle Ages as it is the conception of the travel through the medieval peregrination, the homo viator as a consequence of the religious becoming which steamed the Middle Ages, or the Bible as the geography of the known world and the destination of the medieval curiosity. On the other hand, the tale shows a very special devising of the Other, of the unknown, by means of a mythical perspective, that is, through the recreation of fascinating mirabilia collection that still impress the current reader. Los viajes de Sir John Mandeville presenta la construcci車n ficticia del Oriente a trav谷s de un relato de viajes que se configura en primera instancia como una peregrinaci車n a Jerusal谷n. La concepci車n del viaje a trav谷s de la peregrinatio medieval, el homo viator como consecuencia del devenir religioso que empa a la Edad Media, la Biblia como geograf赤a del mundo conocido y como destino de la curiosidad medieval, tienen en la figura narrativa del Libro de las Maravillas del Caballero Sir John Mandeville una de sus mejores articulaciones, al margen de los problemas y discusiones derivados de la existencia o no del autor. Por otro lado, el relato muestra una especial elaboraci車n del Otro, de lo desconocido, a trav谷s de una mirada m赤tica, es decir, mediante la recreaci車n de un fascinante conjunto de mirabilia que contin迆a sorprendiendo al lector actual.
