De itinere navali

The only page containing an illustration from the only known copy of De itinere navali. The marginal drawing is the head of a person (probably a woman) wearing an ornamental headdress.[1]

De itinere navali ('Of the Seaborne Journey') is an anonymous Latin account of the siege and capture of Silves in 1189, one of the expeditions of the Third Crusade. It was written by an eyewitness shortly after the events it records. It is known from a single copy made a few decades later. It has been translated into English three times.
