Exeria, Viaxe a Terra Santa

Synopsis of Exeria, Viaxe a Terra Santa

This book narrates Exeria's journey to the Holy Land, offering a unique chronicle from a Galician perspective. The text, discovered in 1884, is a copy of a 4th-century document written by a woman identified as Exeria. On her journey, which took place between 381 and 384, Exeria traveled to places such as Constantinople, Jerusalem, Cappadocia, and the Thebaid in Upper Egypt, sharing her impressions and devotion to the Holy Places of Christianity. This edition, translated into Galician, stands out for its philological, historical, religious, anthropological, and literary value.
