Beskrivning

This new version of the late fourth-century diary of journeys in and around the Holy Land known as the Itinerarium Egeriae provides a more literal translation of the Latin text than earlier English renderings, with the aim of revealing more of the female traveler’s personality. The substantial introduction to the book covers both early pilgrimage as a whole, especially travel by women, and the many liturgical rites of Jerusalem that Egeria describes. Both this and the verse-by-verse commentary alongside the translated text draw on the most recent scholarship, making this essential reading for pilgrims, students, and scholars seeking insight into life and piety during one of Christianity’s most formative periods.

"Finally, here is a fresh, new, contemporary translation into English, with a richly detailed introduction and scholarly commentary, of Egeria's travelogue. McGowan and Bradshaw's volume does ample justice to the many recent insights from pilgrimage studies and gender theory found in this crucial early Christian text. Their Pilgrimage to Egeria has been highly anticipated, and I am delighted to recommend it enthusiastically."Teresa Berger, Professor of Liturgical Studies and Thomas E. Golden Jr. Professor of Catholic Theology, Yale Divinity School and Yale Institute of Sacred Music"A vital text for examining the history of ecumenism."Catholic Library World"The commentary itself is a masterpiece of concision and, thankfully, it is placed at the foot of the page in question in the form of lengthy footnotes. This will surely become the standard text of Egeria for English-readers for many years to come, and no doubt will generate renewed interest in this precious glimpse into the liturgy of Jerusalem 1600 years ago."Anaphora
