The book from which the following two texts come is rather unique: it is the fictitious account of a pilgrimage to Jerusalem and Mount Sinai which the Florentine goldsmith Marco di Bartolomeo Rustici is presumed to have undertaken. Starting with a detailed description of his hometown \u2013 extensively illustrated with drawings \u2013 Rustici begins an imagined itinerary that leads him along the Ligurian and Tuscan coast, across the Mediterranean and finally to the Holy Land. The Camposanto is mentioned at two points: when the group stops at Pisa at the beginning of their journey, and when Rustici gives a description of the Christian pilgrim cemetery in Jerusalem, the Akeldama. Interestingly, this text which Rustici obviously compiled from other pilgrim accounts at his disposal, indicates two different sites from where the Pisans had taken the holy earth: the Holy Sepulchre and the Akeldama, which also appears in the travel and pilgrim accounts of Pero Tafur, Felix Fabri and Fadrique Enr\u00edquez de Ribera. \/ DG<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n

In front of this, in a distance of not too many footsteps, there is a cemetery which is called Camposanto, magnificent and beautiful, covered with lead. And in the center it is full of sculptured sepulchres, incised with noble stories. The Pisans built it and founded it with the earth that they brought with [??] ships from the Holy Spulchre of Jerusalem.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]2.

E i Pisani anticamente signoregiorono il Sipolcro e per vettoria e trionfo recorono di quella terra di quello campo; con divozione dificorono nella citt\u00e0 di Pisa uno cimitero chiamato Campo Santo magnifico e bello, coperto di piombo, a grolia di Dio.\u201d (264 (fol. 237v))[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]History of the holy travel to Jerusalem, to mount Sinai and to Arabia

Climbing up on the wall towards the east, there is on top an area which is covered with earth. There are six windows, and from there the field can be seen which the Jews bought with the 30 coins of Christ when sold him. And this field is full of sepulchres of pilgrims. And this field is called Acheldama. All the pilgrims are buried there. Whoever goes to this field says his prayer with reverence and with requiem aeternam<\/em> for the souls of the Christians who are buried there. It is called Campo Santo. And the indulgence is seven years and seventy days.<\/p>\n

In ancient times the Pisans ruled over the Sepulchre and, as a sign of victory and triumph, they brought some earth from that field. In Pisa, they devoutly built up a wonderful and beautiful, lead-covered cemetery called Campo Santo for God\u2019s glory.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
