Potter, Inc. (23 E. 67th, NY 21), under the title "The Spring Voyage — The Jerusalem Pilgrimage in 1458." It is a most valuable work by Rosa- mund Jocelyn Mitchell, winner of the British Archives Society's es- say prize. It is not a Jewish book, since the pilgrimage was by Christians, in an era when there was a limi- tation of Jewish influence in the Holy Land. But the area always was considered Jewish by Jews and the Holy places mentioned remain historically significant for Jews and all mankind. And from the viewpoint of history and the general interest in Palestine, this narrative, related in a fashion that describes it without bias and with a measure of objectivity, must be viewed as an interesting aspect of Palestinian history As indicated in the title, the pilgrimage was in 1458, and the 48 travelers — their names are listed as an appendix to the book — included 29 Englishmen, 1'7 Italians, an Austrian and a Dutchman. They sailed from Venice, and their stop-over places included Ragusa, now Dubrovnik, Cyprus and the Island of Rhodes. It was at Jaffa that the excited group of pilgrims landed and sighted the Holy Land, proceeding from there to Jerusalem. They went to see the holy places, traveling on the means of transportation of that time — on donkeys. They went to Bethehem, visited the historic Christian places, and cleansed themselves in the Jordan River. The pilgrims read books deal- ing with the holy paces, some began to write diaries, all took notes and in addition amused themselves with games on the galley that took them on a jour- ney that has become, as a result of studies like "The Spring Voy- age," an historic event. They were motivated by piety and, of course, an interest in his- tory and the religious aspects of a pilgrimage. It was out of the diaries kept by six of the pilgrims that Miss Mitchell developed her theme. In her important book appear the Earl of Worcester, John Tipoft, who steered clear of politics; the English guide book author William Wey and others. The diaries pro- vided valuable data. The threats from pirates, the danger from thieves who always molested trav- elers, the hardships created by high temperature, the trek to Mount Sinai, and many other as- pects that retain a lasting interest in the Holy Land are described by the able compiler. Miss Mitchell describes the landing. She offers a familiar description: "Jaffa was a bad harbor at the best of times, being very shallow. Since there was always the danger that the anchor might drag and the gal- ley be driven ashore, the cap- tains were anxious to land their passengers without delay ...
