Summary:

The series this book belongs to presents new translations of primary sources relating to the crusades, but Pringle (history, archaeology, and religion; Cardiff U., Wales) finds a close enough link between pilgriming and crusading that a volume of pilgrimage texts would be at home. The 17 documents range from the fall of the first kingdom of Jerusalem after the battle of Hattin in 1187, to the ending of the second kingdom with the loss of Acre in 1291. He accompanies them with historical, topographical, and archaeological commentary. Among the texts are extracts from Ernoul's Chronicle (ca. 1231), Geoffrey of Beaulier's The Pilgrimage of Louis IX from Acre to Nazareth (March 1251), Matthew Paris' Itinerary from London to Jerusalem (1250-59), Buchard of Mount Sion's Description of the Holy Land (1274-85), and These are the Pilgrimages and Places of the Holy Land (13th century).
