Abstract

Pilgrim’s guidebooks to the Holy Land date back to the 4th century C.E. Written in several languages, those in Greek are called Proskynetaria due to the first word of their title in most manuscript witnesses:

Προσκυνητάριον σὺν Θ(ε)ῷ ἁγίῳ τῆς ἁγίας πόλεως Ἱ(ερουσα)λήμ … [Proskynitarion syn Theo hagio tes hagias poleos Hierousalem …].
