In this supplement, a section from the so-called Metrical Version of Mandevilles Travels has been presented, conveying the journey from Hungary to Constantinople. he importance of this section lies in the short description of Belgrade, absent from other versions and redactions of this popular medieval literary
work. his description was probably made according to an eye-witness and a contemporary from the early XVth century, and depicts the rise of the town in the
period marked by its transition to a new government of despot Stefan Lazarevi.

ONE DESCRIPTION OF BELGRADE AND SOUTHEASTERN EUROPE

IN THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY ENGLISH LITERATURE
his paper comments upon the passage from the so-called Metrical version of
Mandevilles travels, describing the land route from Hungary to Constantinople. he
passage contains an account of the city of Belgrade, not present in other redactions
of this popular late medieval travelogue. Belgrade is described as the city abundant in
victuals and viands, with marvelous buildings. he description probably originated
from an eyewitness and a contemporary. Although only six verses long, it is one of the
rare foreign accounts of the early XVth century Belgrade, preserved in a unique literary
form. Presumably, it represents a relection of the economic rise of the city ater 1403,
when it became the capital of Serbian despot Stefan Lazarevi.
he description of the voyage from Belgrade to Constantinople in the Metrical
Version is concordant with other redactions of the Travels. he place and river names
present in this passage have been analysed, identiied and compared to other early
English versions, as well as to Anglo-French, Tuscan, Castilian, Czech and Danish
redactions of Mandevilles travels.
