| Review # 1 was written on 2015-12-03 00:00:00 Gorman Eng A short historical resource that offers one of the most incredible 3 pages I have read. The travelling religious christian representative sent on behalf of the Mongol empire visits Rome and ia asked how come he has come to the Vatican. And Sauma is found requesting Papal blessing to he can return to the Mongols with approval but there is no Pope. He requests that they find some Pope to put up quickly or if his trip across the planet is in vain it might anger the Mongol rulers. I surely recount this story wrongly but the fact that ideas take a life of their own is fascinating, and on such a scale... it dazzles. Bar Sauma also somehow seems like a nice guy... |
