Khan Mönke has a Sliver Tree: William of Rubruck, part 2

[scriva]

So, class was really fine.  They made a partly average, partly really good presentation.  One of the students did a great analysis of a religious disputation at the court of Great Khan Mönke, described by William of Rubruck. The discussion was lively.

In preparation for the class, I also read the description of Great khan Mönke's court in Karakorum

That's funny. Duisburg = Gondor. LOL. Is it a sort of birch tree, or is it a metal sculpture?

I guess he's referring to Silberbaum, a restaurant in Duisburg.
