Pilgrimage was an integral part of both medieval religion and
medieval life, and from its origins in the fourth-century
Mediterranean world it spread rapidly to Northern Europe as a
pan-European devotional phenomenon. Concentrating on the medieval
Latin West, this book covers the period spanning the growth in
pilgrimage during the seventh century to the Protestant Reformation
in the 16-century, when pilgrimage ceased to be a vital part of
European Christian culture. It draws extensively upon original
source materials accounts of pilgrimage, guidebooks, chronicles,
wills, covert memos, and state documents, thereby seeking to
uncover the motives of the pilgrims themselves as well as details
of and attitudes towards their preparations, journeys, shrines, and
eventual destinations (particularly Jerusalem, Compostela, and
Rome).
