Archaeology Odyssey

A more scripturally savvy author found fault with this commemoration, pointing out that the vision of Jacob took place at Bethel, well north of Jerusalem. The author in question is John of Würzburg (Wilkinson, Pilgrimage, pp. 291, 247).

Two transcriptions of the texts exist, one by John of Würzburg and another by Theoderic. I follow Theoderic’s order for the inscriptions (Wilkinson, Pilgrimage, pp. 289–290).

For example, the “Ottobonian Guide” of c. 1103 and the guide known by its incipit Qualiter, in Wilkinson, Pilgrimage, pp. 91–92.
