AbstractThe visit of William of Rubruck,a thirteenth-century friar,to Karakorum (seat of the Mongol khanate) occurred at a time when Buddhist influence over Eastern Inner Asia was increasing. It also coincided with the last phase of the centuries-ld Buddho-Taoist controversy then raging at the court of Mongke. William there debated with a Chinese Buddhist known to have been prominently involved at the vortex of both developments. His account of the debate is here for the first time placed in its larger context and utilized as a basis for comparative observations on how Christianity and Buddhism interacted theologically vis-a-vis a third religion,the Mongol folk tradition. From this are extrapolated certain principles that have wider relevance to a historically informed understanding of "tolerance," sectarianism," and "syncretism."
