We may observe that the idea which Joinville picked up in the East about
Prester John corresponds pretty closely with that set forth by Marco.
Joinville represents him as one of the princes to whom the Tartars were
tributary in the days of their oppression, and as ‘their ancient enemy’;
one of their first acts, on being organized under a king of their own, was
to attack him and conquer him, slaying all that bore arms, but sparing all
monks and priests. The expression used by Joinville in speaking of the
original land of the Tartars, ‘_une grande_ berrie _de sablon_,’ has not
been elucidated in any edition that I have seen. It is the Arabic [Arabic]
_Brya_, ‘a Desert.’ No doubt Joinville learned the word in Palestine.

Sage und Geschichte_, and _Cathay_, etc., pp. 173-182.) [_Fried. Zarncke,
