Biography

Map of Mount Sinai from the Liber in the manuscript James Ford Bell Library, MS 1424/Co.

James of Verona was an Augustinian friar who made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 1335 and wrote an account of his travels in Latin, the Liber peregrationis (The Book of the Pilgrimage). He was probably born in Verona around 1290. He entered the Augustinian order in 1310 or 1311, twenty-five years before his pilgrimage.
