As Brewer notes (p. 248), he relied principally on members of the Dutch East India company, and his account of the geography of Prester John's kingdom resembles that of Johannes Nieuhof's Embassy from the East-India Company, published two years later. Montanus places Prester John's kingdom west of Sichuan, putting him in Tibet (here called Sifan).
