Felix Schmid, or Felix Fabri, as he called himself, settled in Ulm as a preacher around 1476. He was a member of the Dominican Order and a prolific religious writer. This is a German translation of Fabri’s manuscript account (in Latin) of his pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 1483-1484. The editor/translator of this work is unknown. The Latin original did not appear until 1843, when it was edited and published by C. D. Hassler.
