(Chapter XXVII
Thus, I have finished describing the Holy Places in the sacred City of Jerusalem. I started with the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and then I went round through the Gate of David, and returned to it again. I have omitted many of the chapels and churches of minor interest which are maintained there by men of various nations and languages. For there are Greeks, Bulgarians, Latins, Germans, Hungarians, Scots, Navarrese, Bretons, English, Franks, Ruthenians, Bohemians, Georgians, Armenians, Jacobites, Syrians, Nestorians, Indians, Egyptians, Copts, Capheturici, Maronites, and many others, whom it would take long to list: with these let us make an end of our book. Amen.)
