Abstract
Although travel narratives in the Middle Ages are expected to reveal encounters with the wonders of the world, they are often wrong or misleading. In order to make up for gaps in the understanding and configuration of the earth's surface, and although they were dependent and ideologically constrained by the time and context, some authors such as Guillaume de Rubrouck and Jean de Mandeville sought to transmit new and more accurate geographical and cartographic knowledge, using various strategies based, in particular, on the traveller's experience.
