Pilgrimage Music

Description

This tiny songbook was printed for the use of French pilgrims along the Camino de Santiago. Illustrated throughout with charmingly crude woodcuts, the book contains the texts of numerous chansons. The book also includes various prayers, memorials of saints, shrines, and relics at Santiago de Compostela, and a table of the distances between various towns along the pilgrimage road.
