Pilgrimage in the Middle Ages: A Reader
Brett Edward Whalen (editor)
The source documents in Pilgrimage in the Middle Ages illustrate the far-reaching significance and consequences of pilgrimage for medieval culture, society, economics, politics, and spirituality. The collection showcases the ways in which pilgrimages inspired and shaped the experiences of commoners and nobles, men and women, clergy and laity for over one thousand years. Pilgrimage in the Middle Ages focuses on sites within Europe and beyond its borders, including the holy places of Jerusalem. In addition, it includes documents that shed light upon Eastern Christian, Jewish, and Islamic pilgrimages. By revealing the changing face of pilgrimage over the years, the reader offers a window onto broader trends, shifts, and transformations in the Middle Ages.
