Pilgerfahrt ins Heilige Land

The oldest accounts of Christian palaestinians offer a vivid picture of the Holy Land and the amazingly lively pilgrim life there from the 4th to the 7th century. The eight most important and original reports are introduced in detail, translated and explained in notes. The book is very suitable as a companion on study or pilgrimage trips through the lands of the Bible. The accounts: 1. the pilgrim of Bordeaux (333) 2. the nun Egeria (c. 400) 3. St. Jerome, Paula and Eustochium (404) 4. the bishop Eucherius (after 444) 5. the archdeacon Theodosius (between 518 and 530) 6. the Jerusalem breviary (c. 550) 7. the pilgrim of Piacenza (c. 570) 8. the bishop Arculf and the abbot Adomanus (c. 680).
