Book Description
Excerpt from The Pilgrimage of Joannes Phocas in the Holy Land (in the Year 1185 A. D.) Whilst, my excellent friend Nihusius, I was at Chios, diligently turning over various mss., obtained in various places, there came into my hands the 'brief description, by Joannes Phocas, of the (holy) places in Palestine and Syria, ' not very well written in very small characters upon silk. He appeared an elegant and accurate writer, considering the time at which he lived, and consequently I had intended to read him carefully, but being occupied with other business, neglected to do. So. Many years afterwards, when at Rome, I was recalling to my memory the mss. Which I had seen, and in the course of familiar conversation the subject of the Holy Places had been mentioned, I again remembered Phocas, and conceived a great desire to obtain him for myself. I wrote again and again to my friends, and even to him who had given me the use of the ms. I begged and prayed and even offered rewards; but I only wasted my time. I always received a prompt answer to all my inquiries, except only about this one writer. Consequently, I at last ceased to trouble about him. However, after a year had passed, while I was interested in other matters, mss. Reached me from a friend who had just come from Chios. While I was looking over their titles, behold Phocas appeared, dropped as it were from the skies, not written in another hand, but the very original which I had seen at Chios.

Book Description
In the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem many pilgrims came to Jerusalem. The translations in this book are of seventeen western accounts of pilgrimage, written between 1099 and 1185, and there are two additional accounts from eastern pilgrims, Abbot Daniel from Russia and John Phocas from Antioch. As a whole this collection shows the gradually developing way in which western Christians understood the Holy Places. Some early pilgrims depended on authorities, many of whom by 1099 were out-of-date. They tried to deliver the truth about the Holy Places and to be reticent about their own reactions. But the pilgrims who appear later in the collections made their own archaeological judgements, and were more free about their own reactions. Pilgrimage after 1099 was altered by the fact that by their victory over Jerusalem the Dome of the Rock fell into the Crusader's hands. Otherwise the differences of practice between eastern and western pilgrims were slight. Thus eastern pilgrims visited the Greek and western pilgrims the Latin monasteries. Western pilgrims had a different idea of the location of Emmaus, and before 1185 a western Way of the Cross was beginning to take shape. These were slight differences, and in general all Christian pilgrims, whether from east or west, visited the same Holy Places as they had during the preceding period. Most of the works in this collection were translated into English a century ago by the Palestine Pilgrim's Text Society. But these texts were produced separately as pamphlets, and lacked a general introduction. In this book therefore the texts are retranslated, sometimes from more accurate texts. In introducing the texts some valuable new evidence from archaeology has been used and enabled a new assessment of their dates.

Book Description
"Every man who undertakes the journey to the Our Lord's Sepulcher needs three sacks: a sack of patience, a sack of silver, and a sack of faith."—Symon Semeonis, an Irish medieval pilgrim As medieval pilgrims made their way to the places where Jesus Christ lived and suffered, they experienced, among other things: holy sites, the majesty of the Egyptian pyramids (often referred to as the "Pharaoh's granaries"), dips in the Dead Sea, unfamiliar desert landscapes, the perils of traveling along the Nile, the customs of their Muslim hosts, Barbary pirates, lice, inconsiderate traveling companions, and a variety of difficulties, both great and small. In this richly detailed study, Nicole Chareyron draws on more than one hundred firsthand accounts to consider the journeys and worldviews of medieval pilgrims. Her work brings the reader into vivid, intimate contact with the pilgrims' thoughts and emotions as they made the frequently difficult pilgrimage to the Holy Land and back home again. Unlike the knights, princes, and soldiers of the Crusades, who traveled to the Holy Land for the purpose of reclaiming it for Christendom, these subsequent pilgrims of various nationalities, professions, and social classes were motivated by both religious piety and personal curiosity. The travelers not only wrote journals and memoirs for themselves but also to convey to others the majesty and strangeness of distant lands. In their accounts, the pilgrims relate their sense of astonishment, pity, admiration, and disappointment with humor and a touching sincerity and honesty. These writings also reveal the complex interactions between Christians, Jews, and Muslims in the Holy Land. Throughout their journey, pilgrims confronted occasionally hostile Muslim administrators (who controlled access to many holy sites), Bedouin tribes, Jews, and Turks. Chareyron considers the pilgrims' conflicted, frequently simplistic, views of their Muslim hosts and their social and religious practices.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Pilgrimage of Arculfus in the Holy Land: About the Year A. D. 670 Nothing appears to be known of Arculfus, the pilgrim of whose travels this work is a narrative, beyond the very slight notices of him contained in the work itself and in a reference to it by the Venerable Bede in his 'ecclesiastical History.' From these we learn that he was a native Of France (gaul), and that at the time when he undertook the journey referred to he had attained the rank of Bishop; bur we have no information at all as to the see over which he presided. It is stated by Bede that his bishopric was in France, and, although this might be a mere supposition grounded on the references in the record itself, we need not hesitate to accept it as being correct. His pilgrimage to the East was undertaken about the year ad. 670, accord ing to the calculation of Dr. Tobler (societe de l'orient Latin), and it must have occupied some time. He spent nine months in the City Of Jerusalem (possibly during that period he may have made shorter visits to the south or the north Of Palestine), and he gives us an account of the chief places of interest to the west of the Jordan, including in the south, Bethlehem, Hebron, Jericho, Galgal, and the Dead Sea, - and in the north, _sichem, Mount Tabor, Nazareth, the Sea Of Galilee, and the sources of the Jordan. After'extending his travels as far as Tyre and Damascus. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
