Contained in four autograph manuscripts and accompanied by a precious iconographic apparatus, the Iter is conceived as an itinerary that starts in London and, passing through France and Italy, reaches the Holy Land. Along the way there are Anglo-Norman captions relating to the main stops encountered along the way: from Rome to Sicily, passing through Antioch and Damascus, Armenia and the rich East, crossing Africa, until reaching Jerusalem and Acre. This volume, starting from a philological and linguistic methodology, aims to provide a new edition of the work to replace the previous, now dated and unsatisfactory, edited by Michelant and Raynaud (1882). The edition is accompanied by an introductory study that intends to address Matthew Paris’s production, both Latin and vernacular, in its entirety, in the light of a new and broader historical, linguistic, and material contextualisation. In this way, it has been possible to fully consider the Iter de Londinio in Terram Sanctam, its peculiarities, and the dynamics through which it fits into the broader artistic-literary production of its author. What ultimately emerges is a profound link between Matthew Paris’s vernacular production and the historical and cultural context of the Plantagenet court in the mid-thirteenth century, marked by King Henry III’s crusade plans.

Tramandata da quattro manoscritti autografi corredati da preziose miniature, l’Iter si configura come un itinerario di viaggio – da Londra alla Terra Santa – con didascalie in anglo-normanno a scandire le principali tappe del percorso. Il presente volume ne offre una nuova edizione, affiancata da uno studio introduttivo che intende mettere in luce le connessioni tra la produzione volgare di Matthew Paris e il contesto della corte plantageneta di Londra alla metà del XIII secolo, negli anni in cui Enrico III preparava la sua crociata per liberare la Terra Santa.
