Anonymous Pilgrim V, 2.16

   https://caesarea-maritima.org/testimonia/282

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

Preterea iste civitates sunt, que non habent episcopos: Scalona, que est sub episcopo Bethlehemitano; Ioppen, que est sub canonicis Dominici Sepulcri; Neapolis, que est sub Abbate Templi, Caifa sub ArchepiscopoCesariense.
