- PublicationOpen AccessEgeria, testimone dello scambio epistolare tra donne nell'antichità cristiana.(Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2019) Bartolotta, Salvatore; Tormo Ortiz, MercedesEgeria was a traveler of antiquity, mulier fortis, traveler of race. Her trip took her to the end of the world, with a double reason: historical and spiritual. She left his homeland, in the Spanish Gallaecia, to his community, the uenerabiles sorores, with the Bible as a guide on his way. For three years, at the end of the fourth century, it will travel through the Holy Land and the Near East with only one objective: the study of the Bible. The trip of Egeria is narrated in a manuscript called Peregrinatio Egeriae, found by Gamurrini in 1884 in the Italian city of Arezzo, which is actually a letter announcing a new literary style: travel literature.
