Cathay and the way thither: being a collection of medieval notices of China .

SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES 3OI as the French editors say (a Great Khan not known to history),but Kuhldi, who died in 1294I; Medeia or the Middle Empire ofthe Tartars is shown as ruled by King Chabech ; , Guebek orKapak, who reigned some time between 1310 and 1320 ; andSarra or Kipchak is under the Lord Janibech ; , Janibeg, theson of Mahomed Uzbek, who reigned 1342-56. One of the aids in compiling this map was almost certainlythe Portulano Mediceo, now in the Laurentian Library, or perhapsit would be more safe to say that both copied from some commonsource. That they did so to a certain extent will be evident froma comparison of the coasts of Arabia and Persia and the westcoast of India with the names entered, as they are on this mapand on the map from the Portulano engraved by Baldello Boni inthe Atlas to his // Milione^.
