Aliud etiam referam de magno cane quod vidi. Odoric of Pordenone and his encounter(s) with the Great Khan
 Liščák, Vladimír
From major part of Latin manuscripts of the travel report of Odoric of Pordenone we learn that he was personally present at an encounter of the Franciscan friars with the Great Khan. In the text known as De reverentia magni Chanis is described the esteem, which allegedly Yesün Temür Khan (reigned 1323–1328) showed to the Christian faith represented by the cross. The event said to occurred during the Great Khan’s journey from Khanbaliq to his Summer Palace in Shangdu. Only a very small part of the Latin manuscripts, which arose in the central-southern Germany (recensio Germanica) in the second half of the 14th century, contain the passage, commonly known as De prædicatione magno Chani. It records, as the only source in Latin, Odoric’s predication before the Khutughtu Khan (Qošila, Küsele, reigned 1328–1329).
