In 'Roads to Santiago' Cees Nooteboom writes:

The historian Labande defines the medieval pilgrim as “a Christian who at some point in his life makes the decision to travel to a particular place and who surrenders his entire existence to achieving that goal”.

Does anyone know where the Labande quote is from?

thanks,

Andy,

I do not know the exact source of your citation but for Edmond-René Labande on medieval pilgrims see Recherches sur les pèlerins dans l'Europe des XIè et XIIè siècles, Poitiers : Université de Poitiers, 1958.

Happy reading!
