Wright gathers nine narratives of journeys to the Holy Land spanning a thousand years. Bishop Arculf, Willibald and Bernard the Wise describe early medieval Jerusalem; Sæwulf and the saga of King Sigurd come from the crusading age; Rabbi Benjamin of Tudela records the Jewish communities he visited; and the book closes with Sir John Maundeville, Bertrandon de la Brocquière and Henry Maundrell.
