Note (1) — 41.—Of the spring in Paradise, with IIII rivers.

J. Buchan (John Buchan) Telfer translation

(1.) “Of these four rivers I have seen three.”—Well versed as Schiltberger was in the Holy Scriptures, he could not but have been aware that the Euphrates and Tigris were included among the four rivers that had their source in Paradise; but he substitutes the Nile and Rison for the Gihon and Pison.
