Abstract
Grünenberg's pilgrimage to the Holy Land lasted 33 weeks, from April to early December 1486. Starting out in Constance on 22 April, he travelled to Venice via Rheineck, Sterzing in Tyrol and Trento, and (31 May) from Venice by galley via Poreč, Zadar, Šibenik, Lesina, Korčula, Ragusa, Corfu, Modon in Morea, Candia in Crete, Rhodes, Famagusta in Cyprus, arriving in Jaffa on 24 July. Travelling by donkey he visited Lydda, Ramla, Emmaus (i.e. Imwas), Jerusalem and Bethlehem, and took a ship back from Jaffa on 1 September, reaching Venice on 16 November (Saint Othmar's day), returning home in early December. The two earliest illustrated manuscripts describing the pilgrimage were completed very soon after his return to Constance and are claimed to be autograph.
