1480년 예루살렘 순례 여행

Abstract

Four European pilgrims, Santo Brasca, Pierre Barbatre, Felix Fabri and an anonymous French, made their pilgrimage to Jerusalem in 1480 and then composed accounts of their spiritual journey to the Holy Land. This article aims to reconstruct in detail the whole process of their pilgrimage, making a comparative analysis of their pilgrim accounts. To make their pilgrimage to Jerusalem, all of them made their way to Venice and embarked on a Venetian galley of which the patron was a Venetian noble called Agostino Contarini. In the Later Middle Ages, most of pilgrims made use of Venetian convoys of galleys which made annually regular voyage of transporting pilgrims from Venice to the port of Jaffa. It was Franciscan friars who were responsible for the journey in the Holy Places including the Holy Sepulchre. They offered many sorts of service to pilgrims from Europe such as the accommodation, the passport to visit the holy places permitted by the Mamluk government, the guide book for pilgrimage etc. The comparative analysis of four accounts of the pilgrimage to Jerusalem in 1480 permits us to suppose the reason that they dared to undertake such a dangerous journey to the Holy Land. One of the most important cause is the indulgence and the forgiveness of sins granted to the devout pilgrims. On the other hand, the pilgrimage to Jerusalem in the Later Middle Ages was possible thanks to many sorts of services provided by the republic of Venice, the Mamluk Sultanate and the Franciscans having common interest in pilgrimage business.
