祭司王约翰

祭司王约翰拉丁语:Presbyter Johannes英语:Prester John,又称约翰长老传教人约翰),于12至17世纪盛行于欧洲传说人物,内容是传闻于东方充斥穆斯林和异教徒的地域中,存在由一名基督教(宗主教)之祭司兼皇帝所统治的神秘国度。关于这个王国的记载,见于中世纪流行的多部虚构作品。甚至在马可波罗的游记中也提到了他。据称,祭司王约翰是东方三博士的后裔,是一名宽厚和正直的君主,统领一片充满财宝和珍禽异兽、圣多马曾居住的土地。该国内有「亚历山大之门」和「青春之泉」等胜地,边疆更为乐园所包围。他拥有的宝物包括一面可看见每一寸国土的镜子。他的王国富庶得难以想像。据说他是中亚的基督教捍卫者,曾经大破波斯军,之后大军直挥耶路撒冷,但因底格里斯河结冰无法渡过才作罢。还有传说认为,耶稣基督曾应许使徒约翰将活着见到祂的再临,因此祭司王约翰,便是那一位拥有不老不死之身的使徒约翰本人。
