See also:JORDANUS (See also:JORDAN See also:CATALANI) (ft. 1321–1330) , See also:French Dominican missionary and explorer in See also:Asia, was perhaps See also:born at Severac in See also:Aveyron, See also:north-See also:east of See also:Toulouse. In 1302 he may have accompanied the famous See also:- THOMAS

Jordanus, escaping, worked some See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

time at See also:Baruch in See also:Gujarat, near the See also:Nerbudda See also:estuary, and at Suali (?) near See also:Surat; to his See also:fellow-See also:Dominicans in north See also:Persia he wrote two letters —the first from See also:Gogo in Gujarat (See also:October 12, 1321), the second from Tana (See also:January 24, 1323/4)—describing the progress of this new See also:mission. From these letters we learn that See also:Roman See also:attention had already been directed, not only to the Bombay region, but also to the extreme See also:south of the See also:Indian See also:peninsula, especially to " Columbum," See also:Quilon, or Kulam in See also:Travancore; Jordanus' words may imply that he had already started a mission there before October 1321. From See also:Catholic traders he had learnt that See also:Ethiopia (i.e. See also:Abyssinia and See also:Nubia) was accessible to Western Europeans; at this very time, as we know from other See also:sources, the earliest Latin missionaries penetrated thither. Finally, the Epistles of Jordanus, like the See also:con-temporary Secreta of See also:Marino See also:Sanuto (1306-1321), urge the See also:pope to establish a See also:Christian See also:fleet upon the Indian seas. Jordanus, between 1324 and 1328 (if not earlier), probably visited Kulam and selected it as the best centre for his future See also:work; it would also appear that he revisited See also:Europe about 1328, passing through Persia, and perhaps touching at the See also:great See also:Crimean See also:port of Soidaia or Sudak. He was appointed a See also:bishop in 1328 and nominated by Pope See also:John XXII. to the see of .Columbum in 1330. Together with the new bishop of See also:Samarkand, Thomas of Mancasola, Jordanus was commissioned to take the See also:pall to John de Cora, See also:archbishop of Sultaniyah in Persia, within whose See also:province Kulam was reckoned; he was also commended to the Christians of south India, both east and See also:west of Cape See also:Comorin, by Pope John. Either before going out to See also:Malabar as bishop, or during a later visit to the west, Jordanus probably wrote his Mirabilia, which from See also:internal See also:evidence can only be fixed within the See also:period 1329
1338; in this work he furnished the best See also:account of Indian regions, products, See also:climate, See also:manners, customs, See also:fauna and See also:flora given by any See also:European in the See also:Middle Ages—See also:superior even to

His magnum See also:opus was 'T Wonder Boeck (n.d. 1542, divided into two parts; 1551, handsomely reprinted, divided into four parts; both See also:editions See also:anonymous). Its See also:chief claim to recognition is its use, in the latter See also:part, of the phrase Restitutio Christi, which apparently suggested to See also:Servetus his See also:title Christianismi Restitutio (1553). In the 1st edition is a figure of the " new See also:man," signed with the author's See also:monogram, and probably See also:drawn as a likeness of himself; it fairly corresponds with the alleged portrait, engraved in 1607, reproduced in the appendix to A. See also:Ross's Pansebeia (1655), and idealized by P. See also:Burckhardt in 1900. Another work, Verklaringe der Scheppenissen (1553) treats mystically the See also:book of See also:Genesis, a favourite theme with See also:Boehme, See also:Swedenborg and others. His remaining writings exhibit all that easy dribble of See also:triumph-See also:- ANT

church of St Leonard, See also:Basel. Three years later, See also:Nicolas Blesdijk, who had married his eldest daughter Jannecke (Susanna), but had lost confidence in Jorisz some time before his death, denounced the dead man to the authorities of Basel. An investigation was begun in See also:March 1559, and as the result of a conviction for See also:heresy the exhumed See also:body of Jorisz was burned, together with his portrait, on the 13th of May 1559. Blesdijk's Historia (not printed till 1642) accuses Jorisz of having plures uxores. Of this there is no See also:confirmation. Theoretically Jorisz regarded See also:polygamy as lawful; there is.no See also:- PROOF (in M. Eng. preove, proeve, preve, &°c., from O. Fr . prueve, proeve, &c., mod. preuve, Late.

proof that his theory affected his own practice.
The first See also:attempt at a true account of Jorisz was by Gottfried See also:Arnold, in his anonymous Historia (1713), pursued with much See also:fuller material in his Kirchen and Ketzer Historie (best ed. 1740—1742).
