This paper is a part of my research of the fourteenth-century Itinerarium (or Relatio) associated with the name of Franciscan friar and possibly missionary in Mongolian China, Odoric of Pordenone. The numerous copies of Odoric’s narrative that have come down to our time, chiefly from the fourteenth century, show how speedily and widely it acquired popularity. Five Latin manuscripts of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries are also in the libraries of the Czech Republic. Odoric’s account has come a valuable source for the most up-to-date cartographical work of the fourteenth century, the so called Catalan Atlas 1375. Odoric of Pordenone (1280/85 – 1331), a Franciscan missionary of presumed Czech origin, born (according to the tradition) at Villanova near Pordenone (Friuli, Italy), ranks among the most important persons travelling in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries to Mongolian China. He has widely promoted knowledge of the Southeast and East Asia in Europe.
