James of Verona

James of Verona[2] was an Augustinian friar who made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 1335 and wrote an account of his travels in Latin, the Liber peregrationis ('The Book of the Pilgrimage').

[3] He was probably born in Verona around 1290.

He entered the Augustinian order in 1310 or 1311, twenty-five years before his pilgrimage.
