For an opposing view, see, for example, M. Lewy, Der Apokalyptische Abessinier und die Kreuzzüge: Wandel eines frühislamischen Motivs in der Literatur und Kartografie des Mittelalters (Berlin, 2018). Lewy does not see a particular distinction between Nubia and Ethiopia in Latin Christian discourse.

On the myth, see most recently Brewer, Prester John; Knobler, Mythology. On the movement of Prester John, see B. Hamilton, ‘Continental Drift: Prester John’s Progress Through the Indies’, in Prester John, the Mongols and the Ten Lost Tribes, eds. C. F. Beckingham and B. Hamilton (Aldershot, 1996), pp. 237–69; W. Baum, Die Verwandlungen des Mythos vom Reich des Priesterkönigs Johannes: Rom, Byzanz und die Christen des Orients im Mittelalter (Klagenfurt, 1999); C.

On the specifically African context, see, amongst others, R. Lefevre, ‘Riflessi etiopici nella cultura europea del medioevo e del rinascimento’, Annali Lateranensi, 8 (1944), pp. 9–89; F. Relaño, The Shaping of Africa: Cosmographic Discourse and Cartographic Science in Late Medieval and Early Modern Europe (Aldershot, 2002), pp. 51–74.
