Abstract
The little-known Latin manuscript owned by Harry Ch. Luke, which was translated into English and published in London in 1927 under the title A Spanish Franciscan’s Narrative of a Journey to the Holy Land contains an account of a pilgrimage to the Holy Land that can be dated the mid-16th century and that is very little known. Harry Luke thought that the author could have been a Spanish Franciscan, but its abundant textual coincidences with the «Camino y peregrinación que hizo Juan Perera», published by his nephew Josepe de Sessé in his Cosmographía Universal (Zaragoza, 1619), assures us that the aforesaid Latin manuscript was the travel notebook used by Canon Juan Perera on his pilgrimage through Syria and the Holy Land in 1553. Although the manuscript is unaccounted for today and we know of it only due to the English translation by Harry Luke, it deserves to be studied in relation to the 1619 edition of Juan Perera’s voyage.
