SynopsisExcerpt from The Hodoeporicon of Saint Willibald (Circa 754 A. D.): Translated It must be borne in mind that Willibald was an old man and a great prelate at the time when his narrative was taken down, and that the biographer, while recounting the adventures of his youth, had ever before her eyes the venerable personality of the Bishop. A few words may help to bring that personality before us, as it impressed those who knew him in his later years.

D.): Translated The other and more valuable account is called the Hadae porz'con (isbom-opmbv blbmov - guide-book), written by one of the nuns of the Abbey of Heidenheim, a monastery founded by St. Boniface, and presided over by St. Wal burga. Although the Hodwporz'can was not completed until after Willibald's death, the authoress,1 an English lady and a relation of the Bishop, had listened to Willibald relating his travels, and from his own dictation and with his approval, in the presence of two deacons, who were fellow listeners, had taken down these narratives on paper. The style is unpolished she indulges in occasional digressions, and is given to heaping up a number of adjectives to emphasize her meaning. But one can read between the lines the eager curiosity of the young nun, anxious to know all she could of the places which were so dear to her heart, and which the pilgrim had actually visited. The repetitions and ampliations of the descriptions are evidently the answers to questions put to him while he was telling his tale. The first nine chapters of the Hodceporz'con contain an account of Willibald's childhood and life before he set out on his pilgrimage, and as these do not concern the topography of Palestine, it has been thought better to epitomize them. The portions omitted will be indicated by The last eight chapters are devoted to his life after his return to Italy. These are also condensed.
