Description

The City Of Light by Jacob D’Ancona

Translated and edited by David Selbourne. The author – a scholarly Jewish merchant – describes how in 1270 he travelled from Italy to China, and of his experiences there. Before Marco Polo, this Jewish Italian merchant embarked on a perilous voyage to the east landing in China at Zaitun 'The City of Light' in 1271. This book brings spectacularly to life Jacobs encounter with one of the world's great civilisations in a fascinating window into the mediaeval world.
