The Mystery of Prester John

Illustrated monograph

The Mystery of Prester John

Giorgi Kavtaradze · English edition

Could the legend of an eastern priest-king preserve a memory of tenth-century Tao? Giorgi Kavtaradze explores whether the story of David III of Tao, John Tornike and John the Iberian might help explain the origins of the Prester John tradition.
