Sanctae Pereginationes, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, 1486

The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is a church within the Christian Quarter of the walled Old City of Jerusalem. The site is venerated as Golgotha (the Hill of Calvary), where Jesus was crucified, and is said also to contain the place where Jesus was buried (the Sepulchre). The church has been an important Christian pilgrimage destination since at least the 4th century. The Peregrinatio in Terram Sanctam or Sanctae Peregrinationes, an incunabulum account of a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, by Bernhard von Breydenbach, was published in 1486 with illustrations were drawn by Erhard Reuwich. The party also included two friends, one a knight, and a cook. Leaving in April 1483 and arriving back in January 1484, they travelled first to Venice, where they stayed for three weeks. They then took ship for Corfu, Modon and Rhodes. After Jerusalem and Bethlehem and other sights of the Holy Land, they went to Mount Sinai and Cairo. After taking a boat down the Nile to Rosetta, they took ship back to Venice. Sanctae Peregrinatione was the first printed illustrated travel book, and marked a leap forward for book illustration. A bestseller, it was reprinted thirteen times over the next three decades, including printings in France and Spain.
