Epistulae
Letters of John of Montecorvino
From India (1292/93, preserved in the letter of Fr Menentillus): thirteen months at the church of St Thomas in Maabar, a hundred baptisms, the companion Nicholas of Pistoia buried there, notes on Indian people, climate, trees and the sea; his Peking letters of 1305–06 recall the journey.
