Tractatus de locis et statu sancte terre ierosolimitane

The Tractatus de locis et statu sancte terre ierosolimitane is a short anonymous Latin treatise on the geography and ethnography of the Kingdom of Jerusalem written in the late 12th or early 13th century.

[1] It places the "land of Jerusalem" (terra ierosolimitana) at the centre of the world and describes it in detail.

The Principality of Antioch and the County of Tripoli are described as beyond the kingdom's borders, but its vassals nevertheless.

[2] In content and structure, the Tractatus is utterly unlike contemporary pilgrimage accounts.

Hans Eberhard Mayer dated it no more precisely than to the late 12th century, without stating his reasons.
