Still others worship images and idols. . . ' Mandeville related these facts at the beginning of the second part of his travels in speaking of Chana, a small island off the Indian coast. . . . Menocchio's mental universe now consisted of Inda and Cathay and islands inhabited by cannibals, Pigmies and men with the heads of dogs.
