Then follows the old story of the treatment of the dead, the head being cut off the dead father and given to the son who eats it, while the body is cut to pieces and given to eagles and vultures.
Cordier suggests that Gota may be derived from Bod, Pot-pa, Buddha-la, Po-ta-la, and finds it, at any rate, to be identical with Lhasa, Odoric thus being the first European who has ever visited this city. In his introduction Cordier says that Odoric returned from Cathay to Europe via Shan-si, Shen-si, Szechuan and Tibet, whereas the rest of his journey remains in darkness; Badakshan, Khorasan, Tabris and Armenia may have been on his route.¹ His journey was completed in 1330.
The first European who ever enters Tibet and reaches its, later on, so desired and mysterious capital, calls the country Riboth and the capital Gota, and that is all the geography we find in his narrative! However, Odoric knew that Tibet bordered upon India, and he tells us that the natives lived in tents of black felt.² The stone houses of Lhasa were white as nowadays,³ and the streets were well paved, a comfort that was abandoned long ago.⁴ He was familiar with the first of the Eight Precepts of Buddhism: 'One should not destroy life'. And he had in Lhasa seen or heard of some high priest, ›their pope‹, though not yet a Dalai Lama.
Sir John Mandeville was a contemporary to Odoric, and pretended to have started on a journey of 34 years in 1322, the greatest part of which was accomplished only in his own imagination. His narrative was published between 1357 and 1371, and he was the hero of the great uncritical public for centuries. More critical spirits were struck with the similarity, often word for word, between Mandeville's account and other books of travel, amongst them the narrative of Odoric.⁵ Some writers
