1244g.The present volume offers a new English translation, from the original Latin, of the 12th-century Pilgrim's Guide to Santiago de Compostela, the earliest account of the pilgrim routes through France and Spain to the shrine of St James. A unique 'Gazetteer' accompanies this text, consisting of over 730 entries, in which all the important towns, monuments and buildings (even those now lost) encountered by the 12th-century traveller are described and illustrated.
This thoroughly researched, detailed catalogue of monuments, with its highly informative text and 580 illustrations, should prove to be an indispensible resource for the serious scholar of the art and architecture of the period. Moreover, the book will be of immense value to the modern traveller who wishes to follow the route to Santiago de Compostela with a 12th-century guide-book in hand. Designed as a 'Gazetteer' for the pilgrim, student, or tourist of today, the volume includes maps of all the 12th-century Routes as well as up-to-date Michelin map references to locations in France and Spain.
