The first Christian travel document: an anonymous pilgrim's road-book from Bordeaux to Jerusalem and back, listing every posting-station and its distance, and then — the reason it is here — describing the holy places of Jerusalem AS THEY WERE BEING IDENTIFIED in the year Constantine's churches were going up. Read here in Aubrey Stewart's English, Palestine Pilgrims' Text Society vol. I (London, 1887); the Latin critical text is geyer-itinera. IT IS EVIDENCE OF WHAT WAS BELIEVED IN 333, NOT OF WHAT HAPPENED IN 33, and several of the identifications he is shown cannot be what he is told they are. AND THE YEAR IS NOT SETTLED IN THIS EDITION ITSELF: the PPTS preface dates him 332 while the consular date in the text gives 333.
