Peregrinatio in terram sanctam

The first printed illustrated travel book. Erhard Reuwich, who accompanied Breydenbach on the 1483–84 pilgrimage to Jerusalem, supplied the woodcuts — including a five-leaf fold-out panorama of Venice and large city views — making him effectively the first book illustrator identifiable by name. A 15th-century bestseller, reprinted and translated in roughly a dozen editions by 1522.
