FRANCISCI QUARESMII Historica, theologica et moralis Terrae Sanctae Elucidatio, 2 Tom. fol. Antv. 1639.-Quaresmius was from Lodi in Italy, and resided in Jerusalem as a member of the Latin convent at two different times. In his address to the reader on the last leaf of the second volume, he tells us that the work was commenced in A. D. 1616, and completed about 1625, in Jerusalem; comp. Tom. I. p. ix. He then returned to Italy, and endeavoured to get his manuscript printed; but without success. He was now sent out a second time to Jerusalem, as Guardian or "Terræ Sanctæ Præsul et Commissarius apostolicus," and held this office during the years 1627, 8, 9. On his subsequent return to Europe, circumstances led him to Flanders, where the printing of his work was begun in 1634, and completed in 1639. He appears afterwards to have become Procurator General of the order of the Franciscans, and their Provincial in the province of Milan. See Morone Terra Santa nuov. illustr. T. II. p. 380, 383, seq.-The work of Quaresmius is very indefinite and interminably prolix. It has very little value in a topographical respect; but is important for the history of the Catholic establishments in the Holy Land, and as giving the state of the Latin tradition at the time when it was written. 1627.

So Moreri Dict. Historique Tom. X. p. 138. Paris 1759. This however is now said to be an error, which arose from confounding him with Nicolas Melch. de Thevenot, who about the same time published a collection of Travels by various authors under the title: Relation de divers Voyages curieux etc. 2 Tom. en 4 Part. fol.

His account of the Bedawîn is regarded as one of the best. His travels in general, including the above journey, are found in the following work: Mémoires du CHEV.

His book is the brief report of a shrewd and keen observer; and still remains perhaps the best work on those parts of the country through which he travelled. His visit to Jerusalem was a hasty one; and he here saw little more than the usual routine of sacred places pointed out by monks. 1697-98. A.

E. van Egmond van der Nyenburg was Dutch Ambassador at Naples, and travelled in 1720-23. Many years afterwards, the journals of both were reduced to the form of letters by J. W. Heyman, physician in Leyden; but in such a way that the observations of the two travellers are not distinguished. This work ranks among the best on Palestine. 1722.

He afterwards became Professor of Greek at Oxford; and died in 1752. His observations are judicious and valuable. 1737-38.

What he saw, he describes with honest simplicity; but he also relates much on hearsay, without distrusting the accuracy of his informers. * 1737-40.

Revised by Breger, ibid. 1771. Dutch by Cramer, Utrecht, 1780. French, without the maps and plates, Paris, 1772. 12. 6 Tom.— Pococke was in Palestine in 1738; and died in 1765, as Bishop of Meath. He was a classical scholar, but not a good biblical one; and had but a slight knowledge of the Arabic. He is not always a strictly faithful reporter; and the judgment of Michaelis is correct, that Pococke the eye-witness is to be carefully distinguished from Pococke the transcriber of other travellers or of ancient authors. He not unfrequently describes in such a manner, as to leave the impression that he is telling what he himself saw; while a closer inspection shows that he has only drawn from other books. Yet his work is one of the most important on Palestine. See Michaelis Oriental. Biblioth. Th. VIII. S. 111. Rosenmüller's Bibl. Geogr. I. i. p. 85.
