Breviary of Jerusalem

[2] These are, in chronological order: Another copy of the Breviary was apparently in Iona Abbey in the 7th century, since it was one of the sources used by Adomnán in his De locis sanctis (698).

[11] Paul Riant was responsible for an earlier Latin edition,[12] which was translated by Aubrey Stewart for the Palestine Pilgrims' Text Society.

[13] The title of the Breviary comes from the start of the A text: Incipit breuiarius quomodo Hierosolima constructa est[14] ('Here begins the brief description about how the city of Jerusalem is built').

[5] The Breviary is similar textually to the slightly later pilgrimage accounts of Theodosius and the anonymous pilgrim of Piacenza and all three may have made use of an official guidebook.

[5] The Breviary is the earliest source to mention the existence of a Church of the Holy Wisdom on the site of Pilate's praetorium.
