In his 'Description of the Holy Land', written in Latin around 1283, the Dominican Burchard explores the land in a series of itineraries starting from Acre in the north, and then from Jerusalem in the south. His particular concern is to identify and describe towns and other sites mentioned in the Bible as an aid to pilgrims and biblical scholars. He treated the evidence of the Bible and other sources carefully, he used the evidence of place-names preserved fromantiquity, and he knew the land from personal observation, not simply from the writings of his predecessors. His identifications (e.g., of Dan and Beersheba) are not always supported by modern archaeological evidence, but he understood the importance of it, as shown by his explanation of the survival below ground level of early Christian sites, and his discussion of the site of ancient Jerusalem. Burchard's work exists in both a longer and a shorter, abbreviated, version. This book contains the Latin texts, drawn from selected manuscripts, complete with apparatus criticus, and translations of both versions. Introductory chapters cover what is known of Burchard and his career, the manuscript evidence for his two versions of the Descriptio and their relationship, an account of the different printed editions of Burchard's work, a study of his presentation of the geography of the land, and a discussion of early maps showing knowledge of his work. Further chapters explore the churches visited by Burchard, and his use of scripture and other written sources.

Le Bouquet sacré des fleurs de la Terre sainte (1614) est le best-seller de la littérature de pèlerinage en français avant la Révolution. Au XIXe siècle, il figure encore dans des bibliothèques d'écrivains, comme celle de Chateaubriand. Il faut chercher la raison de ce succès durable dans le style nouveau que le franciscain Jean Bouch er, apologiste et prédicateur de la reine, sut imprimer au genre du pèlerinage, au moment même où la Contre-Réforme stimule la renaissance de ces ouvrages. Livre de méditation dévote qui use habilement de tous les ressorts de la rhétorique, le Bouquet sacré est aussi un livre d'aventures où le voyageur, sans bouder les enseignements de l'expérience, considère ses trib ulations dans l'Empire turc avec une distance amusée, pour le plus grand plaisir du lecteur.
