Printed likewise in French and Dutch.-Breydenbach was Dean of the cathedral in Mayence; and travelled to Jerusalem and thence to Mount Sinai with the Count of Solms and several others. This journal has been highly esteemed; but is less exact than that of his cotemporary Felix Fabri. See the next article. *1483--84. FELIX FABRI (i. e. Schmidt) Eigentliche Beschreybung der Hin- und Wiederfarth zu dem heil. Land gen Jerusalem, sine loc. 1556. 4. Also in Reissbuch des heil. Landes.— Felix, a Dominican friar and preacher at Ulm, first visited the Holy Land in A. D. 1480. In 1483 he again went thither in company with Hans Werli von Zimber and others. From Jerusalem to Sinai, this party and that of Breydenbach travelled together. On comparing the two accounts, I find that of Fabri to be more full and accurate; and wherever there is a discrepancy, (as at Hebron,) the latter is to be preferred. There is not the slightest ground for the supposition sometimes made, that this work and that of Breydenbach were originally the same. See the preface to the edition of 1556. NOTE. Thus far the list of printed works is nearly, if not quite, complete. About this time pilgrimages to the Holy Land, or at least descriptions of them, seem to have become more frequent. Nobles travelled thither with a suite of attendants; and several meager journals of this kind and at this period are contained in the Reissbuch. Such are the Itineraries of Alexander Palatine of the Rhine, and of John Lewis Count of Nassau, in 1495; and that of Bogislaus X, Duke of Pomerania, in 1496.— Henceforward the list comprises only the more important or popular works. * 1495. MEJR ED-DIN, History of Jerusalem, translated from the Arabic into French by Von Hammer in Fundgruben des Orients, Vol. II. pp. 81, 118, 375, etc.-The author speaks of writing in A. H. 900, i. e. A.

Schwallart's Deliciae Hierosolymitanae, oder Pilgerfahrt in das heil. Land, Cölln 1606. 4; also in Reissbuch des heil. Landes, Edit. 2.-Zuallart was a Fleming by birth; and made his journey to Jerusalem after having resided at Rome. His book was first printed several times in Italian at Rome; but he afterwards returned to his native country, and published the work anew in French in an improved form at Antwerp. Both the Italian and French editions have quite a number of engravings of objects in and around Jerusalem, apparently from his own drawings; which, though having little merit, became very popular. In the 6th book are collected the prayers, hymns, etc. repeated and chanted by the monks at the various holy places. *To this period belongs the Reyssbuch des heiligen Landes, Frankf. 1584. fol. This is a collection of the Journals of various travellers in the Holy Land, in the German language, either original or translated, made by Sigismund Feyerabend, a bookseller of Frankfort, and hence sometimes known as the Feyerabendsche Sammlung, "Feyerabend's Collection." Of the authors already enumerated the original Reissbuch contains Brocardus, Maundeville, Rudolf von Suchem, Gumpenberg, Tucher, Breydenbach, Felix Fabri, Helffrich, and Rauwolf, besides nine others; in all eighteen. Another edition, with a second part containing the journals of Schweigger, Radzivil, and Zuallart (Schwallart), somewhat abridged, appeared under the title: Bewahrtes Reissbuch des heiligen Landes, etc. Frankf. 1609. fol.

His work is more complete and important than any other of the sixteenth or preceding centuries. Yet he seems to have made considerable use of the Voyage of Zuallart; his engravings, at least, are all exact copies of those contained in that work. He is very full in respect to the monastic rites and ceremonies; and gives the prayers and hymns repeated by the monks at the various holy places; but these also seem to have been copied by him from Zuallart's sixth book. 1598-99.
