This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the "Paris itinerary: Jerusalem and the East". Created by Matthew of Paris in the 13th century, this intricate map depicts an imagined pilgrimage route to the Holy Land. The section displayed here focuses on Jerusalem and the surrounding regions. Matthew of Paris, an esteemed English historian and monk residing at St. Albans Abbey, was renowned for his scholarly contributions. As historiographer of this prestigious institution, he penned two significant works - Chronica Majora, a comprehensive history of the world, and Chronica Minora, which delved into England's past. The map itself is a testament to Matthew's expertise in cartography during medieval times. Its detailed illustrations offer glimpses into geographical features as well as historical events that unfolded along this sacred journey. From Arabia to other parts of the Middle East, every portion has been meticulously crafted with precision. Acquired from M. B. Synge's enlightening book titled "A Book Of Discovery" published in 1912, this print serves as a valuable resource for those interested in geography and history alike.
