John of Würburg

(c. 1170)

German pilgrim.

Description of the Holy Land.

Latin.


Chapter XXVII

Thus, as well as I am able, I have described the Holy Places in the sacred City, starting from the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and going round about, through the Gate of David, till I returned to the same place. I have omitted many of the chapels and smaller churches 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 very many others, whom it would take long to tell : so with these let us make an end of this little work.
