• Summary:Manuscript on paper, in a single hand, documenting the author's travels through France, Italy, Naples, Sicily, and Malta, paying particular attention to Catholic architecture and devotional practices. For example, he keeps lists of the relics he encounters, noting that at the Cathedral of Notre Dame, "There are many Reliques of the Virgin Mary, (as they say) namely, some of her Haire, her Smock, her Milk the which are kept in a very rich Cabinet of Silver and finely graven." At Lyon, he describes a church which "is the Cardinalls house whereinto entering we found in his Cabinett more Dogges than bookes."
