It was published in 1818 by the librarian of the Barberini Library in Rome, Guglielmo Manzi (1784–1821), who prefixed to his edition an essay (also in Italian) on the activities of Italian merchants abroad in the fourteenth century. Frescobaldi and his companions went first to Venice, whence they sailed to Alexandria in Egypt, in order to visit St Catharine's monastery on the way to Jerusalem. Frescobaldi describes the churches and holy places in great detail, and then describes their route home, via Damascus and Beirut, thence by ship (and after enduring a terrible storm) to Venice. Frescobaldi's lively curiosity about everything he saw makes this account of his pilgrimage a fascinating read.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eDiscorso sopra il commercio degli Italiani nel secolo xiv\u003cbr\u003e Viaggio di Lionardo di Niccolò Frescobaldi Fiorentino in Egitto e in Terra Santa.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Historical geography [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Historical geography\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Historical%20geography%20%5BHBTP%5D%22\"\u003eHBTP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266069713176,"sku":"9781108042239","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108042239i_03740fab-7013-4cbe-8c2c-e1a2bbecbd80.jpg?v=1696746553","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/viaggio-di-lionardo-di-niccolo-frescobaldi-in-egitto-e-in-terra-santa-con-un-discorso-dell-editore-sopra-il-commercio-degl-italiani-nel-secolo-xiv-paperback-9781108042239","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
