- Summary
- The book shows how the Franciscans in Jerusalem in the fourteenth to sixteenth centuries wrote works which standardized the cultural memory of the Holy Land. The experience of the late medieval Holy Land was deeply connected to the presence of the Franciscans of the Convent of Mount Zion in Jerusalem, who welcomed and guided pilgrims. This book analyzes this work of construction of a shared memory based on the continuous availability of these texts in the Franciscan library of Mount Zion, where these texts were changed and adapted to respond to new historical contexts. It shows how the representation of the Holy Land developed by the Franciscans in these centuries as they elaborated on the history described different religious groups and the geography of the region. This book reveals how this representation was shared among pilgrims in the library of Mount Zion itself and beyond.
