Anonymous Pilgrim V, 2.13

   https://caesarea-maritima.org/testimonia/281

Context

We know next to nothing about the European traveller to the Holy Land called Anonymous Pilgrim V, whose account survives in the manuscript Heiligenkreuz Bibliothek 88. The editor Wilhelm Neumann argued that, while his journey seems to have preceded the fall of Jerusalem in 1187 C.E., certain details reflect knowledge of the end of the 12th or beginning of the 13th century. The work has two parts apparently written by the same author, the first giving a straightforward itinerary and the second a survey of the region’s ethnography, religions, and environment. This passage summarizes the ecclesiastical hierarchy in the Patriarchate of Jerusalem, including the Archbishop of Caesarea.

Text

Translation

Furthermore, the land of Jerusalem has a Patriarch, who is the father of the faith and Christians and is the vicar of Christ. He has four archbishops: one in the province of Palestine, namely, the Archbishop ofCaesarea; the second in the province of Phoenicia, namely, the Archbishop of Tyre; the third in the province of Galilee, namely, the Archbishop of Nazareth, and the fourth in the province of Moab, namely, the Archbishop of Petra, or of Montreal. The Archbishop ofCaesareahas one suffragan bishop, namely, the one of Sebaste, where John the Baptist, Elisha, and Abdias are buried. The Archbishop of Tyre has four suffragans: the bishops of Acre, Sidon, Beirut, and Bleinas, which is Caesarea Philippi. The Archbishop of Nazareth has one suffragan, the bishop of Tiberias, while the Archbishop of Petra has no Latin suffragan but a Greek one on Mount Sinai.
