For They Reioyced Ouer Vs, As Ouer Men That Had Bene Risen From Death To Life.

So likewise they did vnto vs throughout all Russia, Polonia, and Bohemia.

[Sidenote: Basilius and Daniel Princes.] Daniel and his brother Wasilico made vs a royall feast, and interteined vs with them against our willes for the space Of eight dayes. In the mean time, they with their Bishops, and other men of account, being in consultation together about those matters which we had propounded vnto them in our iourney towards the Tartars, answered vs with common consent, saying: that they would holde the Pope for their speciall Lord and Father, and the Church of Rome for their Lady & mistresse, confirming likewise al things which they had sent concerning this matter, before our comming, by their Abbate. And for the same purpose, they sent their Ambassadours and letters by vs also, vnto our Lord the Pope.

Itinerarium fratris Willielmi de Rubruquis de ordine fratrum Minorum, Galli, Anno gratia 1253. ad partes Orientales.

Excellentissimo Domino & Christianissimo, Lodouico Dei gratia Regi Francorum illustri, frater Willielmus de Rubruquis in ordine fratrum Minorum minimus salutem, & semper triumphare in Christo. Scriptum est in Ecclesiastico de sapiente [Marginal note: Ecclus 39. ver 4.], In terram alienarum gentium transibit, bona & mala in omnibus tentabit. Hoc opus, Domine mi Rex, feci: sed vltinam vt sapiens et non stultus. Multi enim faciunt quod facit sapiens, sed non sapienter, sed magis stulte; de quorum numero timeo me esse. Tamen quocunque modo fecerim; quia dixistis mihi quando recessi a vobis, vt omnia scriberem vobis, quacunque viderem inter Tartaros, & etiam monuistis vt non timerem vobis scribere longas literas, facio quod iniunxistis: Cum timore tamen & verecundia, quia verba congrua mihi non suppetunt, qua debeam tanta scribere Maiestati. Nouerit ergo vestra sancta maiestas, quod anno Domini millessimo ducentessimo, quinquagessimo tertio, nonas Maij ingressi sumus mare Ponti, quod Bulgarici vocant, Maius Mare: & habet mille octo milliaria in longum, vt didici a mercatoribus, & distinguitur quasi in duas partes. Circa medium enim eius sunt qua prouincia terra, vna ad Aquilonem, & alia ad meridiem. Illa qua est ad meridiem dicitur Synopolis; & est castrum & portus Soldani Turchia. Qua vero ad Aquilonem est, est Prouincia quadam, qua nunc dicitur a Latinis Gasaria, a Gracis vero qui inhabitant eam super littus maris dicitur Cassaria, hoc est Casaria. Et sunt promontoria quadam extendentia se in mare, & contra meridiem versus Synopolim. Et sunt trecenta milliaria inter Synopolim & Cassariam. Ita quod sint septingenta milliaria ab istis punctis versus Constantinopolim in longum et latum: et septingenta versus Orientem: hoc est, Hiberiam, qua est prouincia Georgia. Ad prouinciam Gasaria siue Casaria applicuimus, qua est quasi triangularis, ad Occidentem habens ciuitatem, qua dicitur Kersoua in qua fuit Sanctus Clemens marterizatus. Et nauigantes coram ea vidimus insulam in qua est templum illud quod dicitur Angelicis manibus praparatum. [Sidenote: Soldaia.] In medio vero quasi in cuspide ad meridiem habet ciuitatem qua dicitur Soldaia, qua ex transuerso respicit Synopolim: Et illuc applicant omnes Mercatores venientes de Turchia volentes ire ad terras Aquilonares, et e contrario venientes de Russia et terris Aquilonaribus, volentes transire in Turchiam.
