They created a 15th-century bestseller that would give Europeans their first realistic views of prominent cities around the eastern Mediterranean while also encouraging and helping others to take the same trip.

Im sure through his work many seeds were planted and many grew. Judging by the number of reprints of his work. If only one, it covers a multitude of sin. What an adventure that would have been back then. Thankya kindly for your work, blessins to y'all.
Blessins to ya too from far away Finland, northern Europe👋
@@piuthemagicman beautiful country, have another friend there. Good guy also.
The text that goes with the pictures is a little more positive these days. The gruesome horror stories about the cities and lands they visited, would not cause mass tourism. Making panorama drawings and gathering fascinating stories of what they saw and heard, and spreading it by book printing is unique,
And the Jerusalem panorama is very well done and accurate!
Thanks for this interesting video!
This is really cool.
I'm looking forward to it, or, DON'T RUIN IT FOR ME!
PRICELESS !
🙏 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING. GOD BLESS !
Sebastian muenster view of Jerusalem is great also from 1550
There were earlier travel guides in China that were similar, but focused on travel within the empire. They have much the same tone and came with the printing revolution in the Mid-Ming (1400s). There were even earlier guides in the Tang dynasty, but they were not mass prints - more popular hand-copied guides.
I'm fascinated by history and geography. Do I need a degree to learn about geography or can I learn geography on my own with books, videos? Pls reply
Five days? Wth!

What's the name of the book
Peregrinatio in Terram Sanctam or Pilgrimage to the Holy Land
In case anyone's wondering how the artist made their drawings so accurate. they took a picture and then traced over it
(just kidding)
hi
Hello there
Hey!!
What abaout The Description of Greece by Pausanias, that's the true first Travel Guide (Roman Times)
it has no maps
@@starcapture3040Maps aren't essential. I'm in agreement that the format goes back much further in time.
Weirdly, the Christians see no problem invading a historically Jewish city, or that Jesus was Jewish!
