comment
The land of Tàrsia as the home of the Kings of the East might be based on the Bible where we can read: "the Kings of continental prima and the Islands will bring gifts..." (Sl, 72,10), and also appears in medieval literature, such as the stories of Mandeville (No. XX). Once again appear linked the Biblical references with medieval traditions.
