Product Description
Volume I presents a new interpretation of the origins, dissemination and reception of the Guide - one of the greatest merits of which is what it tells us about life, customs and pilgrimage in the early to mid 12th century. The history of the diffusion of the twelve extant manuscripts is examined, which encompasses evidence from a dozen lost copies. The detailed catalogue of manuscripts, which makes up the main body of the volume, provides a significant resource for palaeography and cultural history. Volume II offers the first critical edition of the Latin text of the Guide, with parallel English translation, extensive annotation and cross-references to the Gazetteer (still available).
