Book of the Knowledge of all the Kingdoms, Lands and Lordships that are in the World, and the arms and devices of each land and lordship, or of the kings and lords who possess them

The Libro del Conosçimiento de todos los rregnos (Book of Knowledge of All Kingdoms), also known simply as the Book of All Kingdoms, is an anonymous Castilian geographical and armorial treatise from the 14th century, dated around 1385. Presented as an imaginary autobiographical travelogue, it recounts the journeys of a mendicant friar from Castile who claims to have been born in 1305. Along the way, he describes the various lands, their rulers, and their coats of arms.
