Bernardino Amici

[edit]

Bernardino Amici, (1576/1593 -1619/1620) of Gallipoli, in the Kingdom of Naples, a Franciscan friar, was prior of his order in Jerusalem in 1596. During a stay of five years he drew and accurately described the holy places; and, on his return to Italy, he published in Italian this curious work for the arts: Trattato delle Piante (Plans, and not Plants, as it has been printed and reprinted in French), e immagini de sacri edifizi di Terra Santa, designate in Jerusalemme, etc., first in Rome, and then in Florence, 1620, small in-fol. The engravings in this book are by Jacques Callot.[1]

Jean Zuallart

[edit]
Jean Zuallart

Jean Zuallart (1541-1634), was mayor of Ath in Hainaut Province from 1584 to 1634. He is the author of a description of the Holy Land which he traveled as a pilgrim in 1586.

Biography

[edit]

He tells us that, being in Rome in 1585 with Philippe de Mérode, Baron of Frentzen, whom he had been commissioned to accompany on his travels in Italy and Germany; The latter made him promise to go with him wherever he wanted to carry his steps; Then, having obtained his word, he proposed to him to make the journey to the Holy Land. Zuallart, after some objections, yielded to the wishes of his ward; and, in order to make a greater profit from his races, he learned for four months to draw. On 29 June 1586, Zuallart and Merode set out with two ecclesiastics, Domenico Danesi, papal chaplain, Marin van den Zande, canon of Cambrai, and others. After releasing in Tripoli from Syria, the travelers landed in Jaffa on August 25: they visited Jerusalem and Bethlehem; on September 9 returned to Europe, and on November 25 returned to the port of Venice.

Publications

[edit]
  1. Devotissimo viaggio di Gerusalemme, Rome, in-8, fig. ; ibid :, 1595.
Zuallart writes: "I was, he says, solicited and forced to translate it and put it in our vulgar language, rather coarse Walloon smelling its terroir, than French. This version is entitled Le tres devot voyage de Ierusalem, avec q les figures des lieux saincts, & plusieurs autres, tirés au naturel, Anvers, 1606, in-4. This edition contains many things that are not found in the previous ones. It was reprinted in the same city in 1608 and 1626. The author complains in the preface that Castela, a religious of Toulouse had partly copied his Italian relationship and counterfeited several figures, They are also reproduced in the voyage of Cotovic and in others. They are not remarkable and cannot give an idea of the objects they represent: the plans are better made. Zuallart writes prolixly; He is sometimes gullible, but always in good faith. He is careful to warn when he describes places he has not seen.
  1. Description de la ville d'Ath, contenant sa fondation et imposition de son nom, aussy ses lieux & edifices publics, ses privileges, & ceux qui en sont esté seigneurs & gouverneurs iusques à present, &c.. , Ath: Jean Maes, 1610, in-12.
Zuallart was mayor of this city. His book, devoid of criticism for the historical part of ancient times, contains moreover exact notions on other points.
