    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.

    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!

    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.
