Carpini was the first known Christian emissary to China for several hundred years. However, it should be noted that the Nestorian Christians dispatched missions eastwards from Syria, the first reaching China around 635. They stayed for several centuries until Tang Wu Zong banished Christianity, thinking it a Buddhist variant:

In Italy the most common name is Giovanni da Pian del Carpine
Pian del Carpini is wrong. Latin name Joannes de Plano Carpini means John from Plain of the Hornbeam: Carpini is genitive singular of carpinus, carpini. Correct Italian translation is Pian(o) del Carpine, where carpine is singular, opposed to carpini which is plural. If there are no objections, I'm going to move the page soon.

He died 72-years-old, an advanced age for a man of his time. I do not find clear that his death five full years after the travel was caused by the travel. On the contrary, he seems quite enduring and has a long life after the toil of the travel.
The last section is rife with weasel words and heaps heavy amount of praise on the Historia Monglorum. It's not that I don't think such a document is important, it's just that it is quite far from being NPOV. VincentValentine29 ( talk) 15:39, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
The article Ystoria Mongalorum ought to be merged with the article on its author. What we know about John of Plano Carpini comes largely from his work. The standard English language title of Tartar Relation already redirects here. Aramgar ( talk) 04:02, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
A reasonable merger; can we, for the sake of recognizability, do it at John of Plano Carpini, the normal reference in English? Septentrionalis PMAnderson 14:31, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
