Franciscans--Ireland

Buddhism

Working in Rome, the Irish Franciscan historian Luke Wadding included the story of Odoric of Pordenone in this history of the Order. Odoric travelled to Sri Lanka, China and perhaps Tibet in the early 14th century with “Brother James of Ireland”. Wadding’s version can be shown to be part of a 5-century-long circulation of Odoric’s account in the wider Irish world – not only the island of Ireland but the medieval and early modern continental diaspora. Irish knowledge of Buddhist Asia is nothing new.

Wadding, Luke, 1588-1657
