From encounters with the Mongols and successor states, to the European contacts with Ethiopia, India and the Americas, as well as the concomitant Jewish notion of the Ten Lost Tribes, the volume views the Western search for distant, crusading allies through the lens of stories such as the apostolate of Saint Thomas and the stories surrounding the supposed priest-king Prester John. In doing so, Knobler weaves a broad history of early modern Iberian imperial expansion within the context of a history of cosmologies and mythologies. 410 0$aEuropean expansion and indigenous response ;$vVolume 23. 606 $aDiscoveries in geography$xSocial aspects 606 $aDiscoveries in geography$xPortuguese 606 $aDiscoveries in geography$xSpanish 607 $aPortugal$xForeign relations 607 $aSpain$xForeign relations 615 0$aDiscoveries in geography$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aDiscoveries in geography$xPortuguese. 615 0$aDiscoveries in geography$xSpanish. 676 $a910.9 700 $aKnobler$b Adam$01648384 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825413503321 996 $aMythology and diplomacy in the Age of Exploration$93996488 997 $aUNINA
