		Carpini and his company set out on their journey in April 1245.

		In contrast to the mission of Carpini, the mission of Friar William of Rubruck was purely religious in character.

		Giovanni da Plano Carpini was a fat, sixty-year old Franciscan friar when Pope Innocent IV summoned him to carry a message to the great Khan.

		But Carpini spent the time well, creating a family tree of the khans that was remarkable for its accuracy.

		And his was not a very sympathetic mission, and I think he was going to see what Europe could do to save itself from the Mongols, which is one of the reasons why he focused so much on Mongol military tactics.
		And to be honest, he didn’t have a very sympathetic representation of the Mongols, whom I think he was portraying as a very serious threat to Europe.

		The main focus is on the texts of Marco Polo and Sir John Mandeville with a short pre-history exploring accounts of early Christian pilgrimage and missions to Asia.
		European travel writing continued to add to this mythology of the East and her wealth, and when Columbus set off to find 'the end of the East' in the 15th century, it was Marco Polo's fictional Cathay that he was searching for.
		But, by his own admission, John is also on a bit of a spying mission, to assess the power of the Mongols and their readiness to attack the Christians in the West.

		In the collection of early Voyages, Travels, and Discoveries, by Hakluyt, published originally in 1599, and reprinted at London in 1809 with additions, there are two separate relations of these travels.

		While John of Plano Carpini and William of Rubruck describe poorly equipped regular troopers, having only bows, arrows and axes, their contemporary, Thomas of Spalato, writes that the Mongols carried helmets, swords and bows.
		In the light of Plano Carpini's statement that when the Mongols attack, each one shoots "three or four arrows at their adversaries," it is possible to suggest that they let loose a volley or even volleys of these light arrows at a trajectory while still some distance away.
		As they were shooting at a large body, these volleys would appear to have had some effect.

		Attached are two excerpts from the Journal of Christopher Columbus, relating the very first encounter between Europeans and the inhabitants of Guanahani (San Salvador?) and another several weeks later on the large island now called Cuba*.
		Some of the islands seem to reach the sky, and their tops are like the points of diamonds; others climb tip to a sort of high, high plateau, and at their feet there is such an immense depth of water that a great carrack could berth hard alongside them; no rocky outcrops, and woods everywhere.
