Description
Elibron Classics. Digitized replica of 1868 edition by John Camden Hotten, London.
The legends of Prester John (also Presbyter Johannes) were popular in Europe from the 12th through the 17th centuries, and told of a Christian patriarch and king said to rule over a Christian nation lost amidst the Muslims and pagans in the Orient. This book gives an interesting insight into the ancient life of Jews and Christians in what is now known as Ethiopia.
