Felix Fabri - Circa 1480-1483 A. D #223758

IN his Epistle Dedicatory, dated 1484, Brother Felix Fabri, after his return for the second time from the Holy Land, describes how he twice journeyed thither, and how he strove during his travels to fulfil the promise which he had made to his brethren of the Dominican Convent of Ulm to keep an exact record of all that he saw and of all that befel him on his journey. Besides this,' he continues, 'i also, in some cases, took great pains to write an exact account of some of the holy places to which I never went, but never without adding, I did not go to this place, but have heard or read about it.
