Abstract
This essay explores the most significant set of ground-plans to survive from medieval Europe in order to consider the role of architectural drawings as objects of translation. The architectural drawings are found in Adomnán’s De Locis Sanctis (On The Holy Places), c. 679–704, and were copied in numerous manuscripts through the thirteenth century. The book represents an adaptation of the Christian pilgrimage into a collective hermeneutic exercise of intertextual interpretation, by means of which the Christian identity of Palestine could be revealed within the monastic communities of Europe.
