Brief Extract from the Travels of Athanasius Nikitin, a Native of Twer, edited by Michael W. Charney

Abstract

This translation of Athanasius Nikitin’s fifteenth century travels to India was originally published in India in the Fifteenth Century Being a Collection of Narratives of Voyages to India, edited by R. H. Major, in 1857. Nikitin appears to have only included information on Burma which he obtained by word of mouth. His brief references to Pegu are provided below. The reference to Pegu has been standardized, as two different spellings were included in the original translation. Edited by Michael W. Charney for the SOAS Bulletin of Burma Research.
