Abstract
El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar algunas fuentes escritas relacionadas con las peregrinaciones
medievales con el objetivo de detectar aquellos pasajes que, recreándose en
el detalle visual y estético, podrían trascender el carácter práctico y salvífico reclamado a
las guías de peregrinos al uso, como el Liber Peregrinationis incluido en el famoso Codex
Calixtinus (s. XII). Se propone que, en cierto sentido, estos textos podrían apuntar hacia una
experiencia más humana del recorrido, la cual prefigura el concepto posterior de viaje como
forma de conocimiento, exploración, deleite o fruto de la curiosidad. La segunda parte del
trabajo explora estos aspectos en Los viajes de John Mandeville (s. XIV), un tratado de intención
literaria evidente, heredero en parte de las guías prácticas de peregrinos a Tierra Santa.
ABSTRACT This paper studies some of the primary sources related to medieval pilgrimage, especially concentrating in those passages which render visual and aesthetic details and, in doing so, transcend the practical and eschatological aims that the Christian hierarchy associated with pilgrim guides, such as the well-known Liber Peregrinationis in Codex Calixtinus (12th century). I believe that, to a certain extent, these passages would point to a human experience of travelling: a kind of precedent to later conceptions of the journey as a means to acquire knowledge, to explore the world, to fill one’s curiosity or simply to enjoy oneself. The second part deals with a proper literary text, like Mandeville’s Travels (14th century), which, however, owes a lot to previous pilgrim guides to the Holy Land and, as such, clearly reflects the evolution of the genre.
