ХОДОЧАСНИК ИЗ ИРСКЕ НА ИСТОЧНОЈ ОБАЛИ ЈАДРАНА ПОЧЕТКОМ XIV ВЕКА
A PILGRIM FROM IRELAND ON THE EASTERN ADRIATIC COAST IN THE EARLY 14TH CENTURY

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the report of Franciscan Simon Fitzsimmons who, accompanied by friar Hugh Illuminator, undertook a pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 1323. In his report, Simon dedicated due attention to the cities and lands on the eastern Adriatic coast that he went through. Although this source is not unknown in Serbian historiography, it seems to have remained on the margins of research. The paper presents the only preserved manuscript of this source, its critical editions, and sheds light on the personality of the author and contents of the manuscript. A part of the text, dealing with Simon’s and Hugh’s voyage from Venice to Durazzo in the second half of August 1323, is given in Serbian translation, with critical commentaries.
