Description

Edited from Müntzer’s manuscript many years after he returned to Nuremberg from the Holy Land. Müntzer’s journey took place from 1555 to 1559. He had intended to make the pilgrimage to Jerusalem with J.-J. Boissard, but Boissard was taken ill in Italy, so Müntzer travelled alone, via Crete and Cyprus to Jaffa. He spent three years in the East and for some of that time he was imprisoned in Constantinople with Seydlitz. He returned overland through the Balkans to Venice. The printer Lochner dedicated the work to the mayor and town council of Nuremberg, to whom Müntzer left his estate for the poor.
