Conclusion362
In this timely book, Peter Jackson introduces us to the last great pulse of
nomads from the inner Asian steppe to encounter the utterly different world
of sedentary, urbanized European peoples. The military context of this story
is a long front along the eastern fringe of late medieval Christendom, from
Poland to the Crusader strongholds on the Syrian coast. Its cultural context
is one of prejudice and curiosity stretching from Scotland to Japan, for this
narrative of military encounters and diplomatic manoeuvring is set against
a backdrop of fears of the unknown, rumours – frequently apocalyptic –
and the details of everyday life which characterize one culture rather than
another. In a fascinating exploration of the interactions between the Mon-
gols and the Latin West, Professor Jackson invites the reader to follow
Mongol armies west to Germany and to travel east to China with Christian
missionaries, diplomats and traders, stopping at courts and camps at all
points in between. This latest addition to the Longmans Medieval World
series is thus a sustained reflection on what makes one culture, or civiliza-
tion, different from another, and reminds us that the history of the European
Middle Ages has a world historical context.
In the chapters which follow, we meet many famous men, real and imag-
ined, who have excited the European imagination: Chinggis Khan, Temür
(Tamerlane), Marco Polo and Christopher Columbus; Prester John, ‘Sir
John Mandeville’, Gog and Magog. With skilful analysis, sensitive scholar-
ship and wry humour, Jackson locates their actions – or stories about their
actions – in a world characterized by the immense difficulty of long distance
travel. It is a world of challenges: those facing nomads as they sought pas-
turage for their horses in the Syrian desert, the linguistic difficulties to be
surmounted by Italian friars trying to preach Christianity to speakers of
Series editor’s preface to the first edition xi
The bibliography has been extensively updated, and I have made alterations
to the text and notes throughout, to reflect both new editions/translations of
primary sources and relevant secondary literature published since 2004 and,
in addition, the helpful points made by scholars who reviewed the original
edition. I have in some measure restructured the book, transposing Chap-
ters 7 and 8 and Chapters 10 and 11 and inserting subheadings within the
table of contents. Among the most significant changes to the text are those
found in Chapters 8 (formerly 7) and 11 (formerly 10), where it has been
necessary to take into account a considerable corpus of recent research;
in Chapter 10 (formerly 11), where I have been concerned to emphasize
more strongly the Mongols’ contribution to what might be termed an incipi-
ent ‘globalization’; and in Chapter 12, which now gives enhanced atten-
tion to the Asian cultural impact upon Latin Europe. I have also omitted
the Appendix on the authenticity of Marco Polo’s travels, which has been
placed beyond doubt, in my view, by the publication of Stephen G. Haw,
Marco Polo in China (2006), and J. P. Vogel, Marco Polo Was in China
(2013).

PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION
Three fortunate circumstances are responsible for the fact that this book
has not taken rather longer to appear in print. The first is the enthusiastic
response in 1997 of Andrew MacLennan, at that time History editor for
Longman, to the information that I was contemplating a book on the Mon-
gols and the Latin West. Andrew’s support at an early stage was instrumen-
tal in persuading me to undertake to write the book. I am also grateful to his
successor, Heather MacCallum, for her sustained interest in the manuscript
and for seeing the finished product into the first stages of publication.
Secondly, the Institute for Advanced Study at the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem offered me a Visiting Fellowship for six months in 2000, when
I participated in a workshop on ‘Turco-Mongolian Nomads and Their Rela-
tions with China and Iran’, jointly chaired by Dr (now Professor) Reuven
Amitai and Dr Professor Michal Biran. The opportunity to work alongside
colleagues in my own and closely related fields was invaluable, and my wife
and I both still recall with warm appreciation the hospitable welcome we
received in a Jerusalem that was then a happier place than it has become in
more recent years.
The third fortunate circumstance was the award of a Leverhulme Major
Research Fellowship for the period from October 2000 to September 2003,
which provided my department with full-time replacement teaching and
was accompanied by a substantial sum for research travel. Nobody who
has worked within a UK university over the past twenty years can have any
illusions about the difficulty of reading, thinking and writing without being
exempt from teaching and administration over a sustained period. It is a
pleasure to be able to express my gratitude to the Leverhulme Trust in this
preface.
xiv Preface to the first edition
I have also accumulated many other debts. Thanks are due to the inter-
library loans section of Keele University Library for obtaining for me
numerous books and articles over the years. I am also grateful for the assis-
tance of the staff of Cambridge University Library and of the Seeley His-
torical Library, Cambridge; The British Library, and the Libraries of the
Institute of Historical Research and of the Warburg Institute, in London;
the National Archives (formerly the Public Record Office), Kew; the Bodle-
ian Library; the John Rylands University Library of Manchester; the Syd-
ney Jones Library, University of Liverpool; the Bibliothèque Nationale and
the Archives Nationales, Paris; the Bibliotheek te Rijksuniversiteit Leiden;
Innsbruck Universitätsbibliothek; Universitätsbibliothek Graz; Magyar
Országos Levéltár (Hungarian National Archives) and Országos Széchényi
Könyvtár (Széchényi National Library), Budapest; and Wrocław University
Library. In addition, I greatly appreciated the promptness and courtesy of
Dr Rudolf Lindpointner, of the Oberösterreichische Landesbibliothek (for-
merly Studentbibliothek), Linz, in sending me a digitized image of the ms.
446, fo. 267vb (the report of the Russian ‘archbishop’ Peter); of Herr Jens
Altena, of the Niedersächsische Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Göttin-
gen, in supplying me with a printout of ms. 4 Hist. 61, pp. 276–301 (Carpi-
ni’s Ystoria Mongalorum); and of Herr Hans Stein, of the Forschungs- und
Landesbibliothek Gotha, for providing a printout of ms. Orient. A1559
(the first section of al-Jazarī’s Ḥawādith al-zamān). I should also like to
acknowledge here the kind permission of the Master and Fellows of Corpus
Christi College, Cambridge, to reproduce an illustration from ms. 16 (Mat-
thew Paris, Chronica Majora) in the Parker Library. For the production of
the maps, I am indebted to my colleague, Andrew Lawrence, in the Keele
University Digital Imaging/Illustration Services.
I have benefited greatly from the opportunity to try out parts of this book
at seminars and conferences. Professor David Cannadine, then Director of
the Institute for Historical Research, invited me to read what proved to
be a remote forebear of Chapter 6 as a plenary lecture at the 68th Anglo-
American Conference of Historians, where the theme was ‘Race and Ethnic-
ity’, in June 1999. Subsequently I was given the chance to experiment with
the material now in Chapter 10 both in Jerusalem in March 2000 and at the
Conference on ‘Conversion: a Medieval and Early Modern Experience’, at
the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, in May 2001. An early draft
of Chapter 12 was read as an inaugural lecture at Keele University in Janu-
ary 2002, and I profited a great deal from the questions and comments of
my colleagues. I am grateful, lastly, to Professor Jonathan Riley-Smith for
inviting me to deliver a version of Chapter 8 to the Seminar on the History
of the Crusades and the Latin East in Cambridge in November 2002.
A number of other historians have helped me in various ways. Profes-
sor Peter Hoppenbrouwers, of the Rijksuniversiteit Leiden, kindly sent
me a number of references to the Mongols in medieval sources from the

COMPARATIVE STATEMENT FROM ORGANIZATION TO DATE
From the foregoing it will be seen that the business of the Company has
steadily grown from year to year, and, while the shareholders have
received a fair return on the capital invested, the directors have always
borne in mind that their first duty was protection to the depositors, which
they have accomplished by adding over four million dollars, making a
guarantee fund to its clients, including shareholder’s liability, of EIGHT
MILLION DOLLARS, a record shown by few banking corporations in the
United States.
This statement does not include our Trust Department, the securities
of which, under the law, are kept entirely separate and distinct from the
assets of the Company, and our relations being of a confidential nature,
no published statements are made. The growth has, however, been much
greater than the above.
