COMPENDIOSA DESCRIPTIO - primae evagationis in terram sanctam.
Step into the world of a 15th‑century pilgrim as he wanders through the sacred streets of Jerusalem, the stark deserts of Arabia, and the bustling ports of Egypt. His keen eye records the layout of holy sites, the rhythms of daily life, and the spiritual atmosphere that surrounded each landmark. Written in the lively vernacular of his time, the narrative blends personal devotion with vivid descriptions of the landscapes and peoples he encounters.
This edition presents the original manuscript faithfully, preserving the author’s idiosyncratic spelling and occasional typographical quirks. Scholarly footnotes guide listeners through the text’s complexities, explaining obscure terms and correcting obvious errors while leaving the authentic voice untouched. For anyone fascinated by medieval travel, religious history, or the early modern view of the Near East, the work offers a rare, unfiltered glimpse into a journey that shaped centuries of pilgrimage literature.
