Excerpt from Fetellus: Circa 1130 A. D The Chief importance of this anonymous work arises, as has been stated, from its presenting to us the condition of the Sacred Sites at the time of the beginning of the Crusades. In speaking of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, for example, the author mentions the Choir as in process of construction, while it was still possible to enter the Rotunda by four gates on the eastern Side. In much of his description he is followed by other narrators almost step by step, as will be seen on comparing some sections, such as that relating to the North of Palestine, with 'john of Wurzburg' (already in the hands of mem bers of the Society). The resemblances are so frequent, and close as to render it quite impracticable to refer to them in detail in the notes.
