Summary
| Description |
English: An illustration of the Great King of Java and his seven vassal kings from a damaged manuscript containing a copy of Odoric's "Relatio".
"The king of this land has a lovely palace, and a rich [one]. For all the stairs [leading] into the hall and chambers are alternately one of gold and another of silver. And all the walls are covered with plates of gold and silver. And those plates are written [painted?] with stories of knights and great battles. And the pavement of the hall and chambers is of gold and silver. And no man would believe the wealth that is there but he that has seen it. And this king is so mighty that he has oftentimes overcome the Great Khan of Cathay [China], who is the mightiest emperor of all the world." |
