"Descriptio topographica aliquot regionum, &c. in Oriente. (Lat. et. Sax.) Multa de monstris, &c. continet, haud dissimilibus iis quae memorantur apud Solinum, Ctesiam, et in interpolatis exemplaribus itinerum J. de Maundeville, &c. Imperfectus videtur hic tractatus, fabulisque plenus." - British Library
