_Pilgrimages to the Holy Land_ (Vol. v., p. 289.).--There is still

another book to be added to the curious list of old pilgrimages to the

Holy Land, furnished by your correspondent PEREGRINE A. I derive my

knowledge of it from Brunet's _Manuel_, sub voce CAPODILISTA (GABRIELE),

where it is described as follows:

"Itinerario di Terra Santa, e del Monte Sinai." (Without date

or printer) 4to.

It is a journal of a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, made in the year 1458

by a Padua nobleman, accompanied by a relative, Antonio Capodilista, a

canon of the same place, and several other noble personages. It is one

of the earliest productions of the press at Perugia, and the date

assigned to it by M. Brunet is 1472, but by Vermiglioli 1473 or 1474.

The latter authority, in his _Principi della Stampa in Perugia_, calls

it "Veramente un prezioso cimelio di tipografia e bibliografia." I am

anxious to know where a copy of this very rare work is deposited, as I

have been told that there is none at the British Museum.
