Les Errances de frere Felix, pelerin en Terre sainte, en Arabie et en Egypte. Tome VI – Traite 6
by Felix Fabri and edited and translated by Jean Meyers and Michel Tarayre
In this sixth volume, Fabri describes the two most important temples in the Holy City, Solomon’s Temple and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and recounts the history of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem. The work becomes that of a historian who wants to make his travel story a work of synthesis as well.

Review - French Le sixieme tome des Errances de frere Felix interrompt longuement le recit journalier du pelerinage pour decrire les deux temples les plus importants de la cite sainte, le Temple de Salomon et le Saint-Sepulcre, et faire l'histoire du Royaume latin de Jerusalem. Le narrateur se fait donc ici historien en compilant toute une serie de sources a sa disposition. Son recit temoigne de l'importance et de la portee extraordinaires que les evenements de la premiere croisade gardaient a ses yeux. La maniere dont l'auteur compile ses sources et choisit les faits qu'il raconte fournit un temoignage precieux sur ses techniques d'ecriture, sur sa propre personnalite et sur sa conception de l'histoire des croisades. Il prouve par ailleurs que l'Evagatorium de Felix Fabri a aussi l'ambition d'etre un ouvrage de synthese et une encyclopedie de la connaissance.
