- Description
- Lyons describes twenty-four journeys derived from early travelogues, now known to be fictional or fanciful. Includes description of the likely spurious "Inventio Fortunata," attributed to Nicholas of Lynn by Richard Hakluyt. Also speculates that Nicholas of MilT may be based on Nicholas of Lynn. Section titles imitate CT (e.g., "The Walker's Tale," "The Mapmaker's Tale").
