Dietrich, The Holy Places 1538-1541

Context

Dietrich (Theodericus) was a German priest of the 12th century who travelled to the Holy Land under the Kingdom of Jerusalem. His account survives in only two manuscripts of the 15th century that derive from a common ancestor. In this passage, Dietrich describes major roads in his itinerary.

Text

Hec ergo via, que ab Achon per Nazareth et Samariam atque Neapolim Ierosolimam ducit, superior vocatur, et illa que per Cesaream et Liddam ab Achon Ierosolimam tendit Maritima appellatur. 1
