OK, I thought I was clear in my request.  But the response shows that I need to clarify.

I need to know how long it took PEOPLE to travel from Constantinople to Samarkand, especially noting what time of year this was.  That is:  when did they leave Constantinople?  How long/what time of year was it when they reached Samarkand?  And then what time of year/how long for them to reach Beijing?

Now will someone who has the references be so kind as to give me the answers, or the spiffy URL/ISBN?

Thanx
Morgana
