Abstract

In May 1853, Melchior de Vogüé left for his first sojourn to the Orient. He was in Greece, Syria, Palestine, and Egypt. The opening of the Vogüé family archives to the public has occasioned the discovery of an unedited manuscript retracing his voyage of ten days from Haifa to Jerusalem, between the 9th and 18th of November. Without being artistic, the text abounds in anecdotes. It also provides descriptions and archeological analysis, mixed with references to the Sacred Scripture and Christian zeal.
