Anonymous Pilgrim V, Untitled 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 one manuscript in Austria. 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
