The Christian Topography of Early Islamic Jerusalem: The
Evidence of Willibald of Eichstätt (700-787 CE) is an
analysis of Willibalds description of Jerusalem for the year
724-6, as contained in Hugeburcs Vita Willibaldi, a
text composed in Heidenheim (Germany) in 778. The work makes a
fresh examination of the Christian landscape of Early Islamic
Jerusalem, while describing various aspects of the Byzantine and
Crusader city. Willibalds account of the Holy City includes
the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Church of Holy Sion, the pool
of Bethesda, the Church of St Mary, the Church of the Agony and the
Church of the Ascension. Particular attention is given to the
monument of the Miraculous Healing (the legend of the Holy Cross),
the portico of Solomon, the Jephonias Monument (the Dormition of
Mary) and the Jerusalem circuit.
At the same time, the work explores the religious imagination of
Willibald, including his perceptions of the holy sites, his image
of Jerusalem and his understanding of the Christian life.
Willibalds image of the city as a far and distant place is
supported by his attention to personal hardships and to his
interactions with the pagan Saracens, while embedded
within the tales of his oriental travels is his vision of the
Christian life whereas Willibald viewed the earthly life as
a laborious journey, the Christian life was one of faithful
perseverance.
The work makes a significant contribution to two fields of
study: the commemorative topography of Jerusalem and the
Anglo-Saxon, or Boniface, mission in Germany.
Rodney Aist is a scholar of Christian pilgrimage, both past
and present, with a particular expertise in the city of
Jerusalem.
